Daniel Levine (University of Alabama) will be joining us in the Department Seminar on Thursday at 4:15 in Mergenthaler 366 to discuss ""These Days of Shoah": History, Habitus, and Realpolitik in Jewish Palestine, 1942-1943." The paper is in press, but it is drawn from a larger book project Daniel is working on, so the conversation will be timely for him.
