- Event description: Jewish life at Brown has changed significantly across the history of the University and Rhode Island. Panelists will highlight several key moments from specified time periods that convey something important about Jewish life at Brown. The panelists bring expertise on different time periods: early American and Rhode Island history, when principles of toleration were established, if not always met; the early- and mid-20th century, when Jewish admission to colleges and universities was restricted; and the post-war period and late 20th century, when Jewish life on campus expanded and evolved. Moderator: Karin Wulf, Beatrice and Julio Mario Santo Domingo Director and Librarian at the John Carter Brown Library, Professor of History (unable to attend). Panelists: Rabbi Alan Flam P’05, former head of Brown RISD Hillel 1982-2000; Amy Sohn ’95, New York Times-bestselling author and author of an article in The Forward about Jewish quotas at Brown in the 1920s to 1940s; Hannah Stoch ’26, Brown University History Fellow and author of the article “Jewish Life at Brown University in the late 20th Century”
