SMP Spotlight
"My St. Mary's Project was truly the culminating experience for my undergraduate years. The process brought me full circle; I was able to take a piece of literature I had read in my very first semester and keep discussing and applying theory to it in my last. My SMP proved to me that I could sustain great ideas and discipline myself, even when I was discouraged. Working so closely with my SMP mentor, Christine Adams, was really valuable, offering a one-on-one environment that I had never had with my regular classes. I came away from my project knowing more about my topic than I thought I ever would -- and I still love it!"

The New Jewish Argentina, an edited collection co-edited by Dr. Brodsky, was published by Brill in 2012. A special issue on Latin America of the Journal of Jewish Identities, co-edited by Dr. Brodsky, appeared in January 2012. Two articles of hers also appeared in a special issue of the Journal Estudios Interdisciplinarios de América Latina y el Caribe (Spring 2012), and in a book co-edited by Ran, A., and Cahan J., eds., Returning to Babel: Jewish Latin American Representations, Experiences and Identity (Brill, 2011). In 2011-2012, she presented her work at the Conferences of the American Historical Association, Association of Jewish Studies, and participated in a workshop, organized by Dr. Rick Jobs and David Pomfret at the University of Hong Kong, on Youth: A Transnational Age. Dr. Brodsky has recently received a Research Award from the Haddasah-Brandeis Institute, to support her new project on Sephardi Youth in Israel.
