Ghetto Pastoral: Street Scene, Jews, and the Transformation of American Folklore

As part of the Center’s 20th anniversary celebrations in 2022-2023, this lecture is the inaugural Alumni Lecture hosted by the Center. Dr. Graber was the first graduate student to receive a full-year dissertation fellowship from the Center, and thus, it seems fitting to have her also provide the inaugural Alumni Lecture.
