First and foremost, I want to say that the Program in Jewish Studies stands ready to support you in any way that we can, and that I am always available to speak by phone or video. To our students, in particular, I want to say that we know how difficult this period is, and we are here for you. Please let us know if you encounter any issues, ranging from lack of access to WiFi or computing technology to food insecurity to uncertainty about university procedures. We are in close and constant communication with campus leadership, and we will do our best to connect you with the right offices and individuals at CU and get you the resources you need; we are also working closely with our undergraduate advisory board to make sure that we are responsive to any emerging challenges that arise. (For those of you who don’t know it, I also encourage you to visit the university’s&nbsp;<a href="/coronavirus" rel="nofollow">COVID-19 site</a>.) We often throw around the term “intellectual community” in academic settings, but that is what we are: a genuine community.<br> &nbsp;<br> I write, second, to express my profound thanks to our students, faculty, staff, and community partners. Amid the challenges of ever-changing information, new technologies, and social isolation, our courses, internships, and other operations continue, albeit in online form; our events, including a concert with the Conference on World Affairs and lecture with Anschutz’s Center for Bioethics and Humanities, have been put off, but we are looking into the possibility of rescheduling in the future; all in-person spring commencement programs at the university have been cancelled, but we are exploring alternate ways to honor the many accomplishments of our students. All of this is a testimony to the dedication of the diverse members of our community, who have selflessly devoted their time and energy to ensuring that we can continue to fulfill our mission of educating tomorrow’s global citizens and community leaders.<br> &nbsp;<br> None of us expected the semester to look like this, but I am confident that we, as a Jewish Studies community, will continue to be there for one another. I am so very grateful to each and every one of you, and my (virtual) door is always open.<br> &nbsp;<br> Sincerely,<br>Elias Sacks<br> Director, Program in Jewish Studies<br><a href="mailto:elias.sacks@colorado.edu?subject=" rel="nofollow">elias.sacks@colorado.edu</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Fri, 20 Mar 2020 16:15:19 +0000 Anonymous 1239 at /jewishstudies Deadline Extended!

As the first scholar to undertake such research broadly, his work&nbsp;will help explain how the American Jewish community and gay and lesbian Jews&nbsp;navigated the tension between Judaism’s traditional regulation of gender and&nbsp;sexuality, and the increasingly visible role for gay and lesbian people in American&nbsp;society from the 1960s through the early 1990s. During this era, American Judaism&nbsp;shifted from regarding homosexuality as a taboo topic, to a period notable for its&nbsp;proliferation of gay Jewish institutions, visible gay and lesbian clergy, and widespread&nbsp;Jewish support for LGBT civil rights.</p><p><br> Drinkwater’s&nbsp;research in LA at the ONE National Gay &amp; Lesbian Archives was&nbsp;supported by a Barry and Sue Baer Graduate Fellowship from the Program in Jewish Studies.
