The Stassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University is the first and only institute of its kind. It is home to a uniquely rich undergraduate program and a landmark doctoral program.Since it was established in 1998, it has gained international standing as the sole program to train students for Ph.D. degrees in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. Our speaker for our February 13 Women’s Circle is Frances Tanzer, Visiting Assistant Professor at the Strassler Center for the 2018-19 academic year. Her topic is “Antisemitism Through Images. “This talk explores how antisemitic stereotypes have persisted and transformed through history, as well as the varied ways Jewish artists have responded to such stereotypes. Professor Tanzer received her Ph.D. in History from Brown University in 2018. Her research focuses on minorities, art, and nationalism in Central Europe. Her current project, “Vahishing Vienna,” explores representations of Jewish absence in post-Nazi Vienna and Austria.
