Join us this Friday as we celebrate Shabbat with special guest-speaker, Dr. Ashley Walters.

Dr. Walters is an assistant professor of Jewish Studies at the College of Charleston. She completed her PhD in American and East European Jewish History with a PhD minor in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Stanford University. She is currently working on a book titled, Intimate Radicals: East European Jewish Women and Progressive American Desires, which explores how unconventional romances among leftist radicals helped produce a new cultural mythology of the East European Jewish woman in early-twentieth century America. She is a co-editor of and contributor to the recent volume, Matrilineal Dissent: Women’s Writing and Jewish American Literary History, published in 2024 by Wayne State University Press. At the College of Charleston, she teaches courses on modern and American Jewish history, Jews and gender, and southern Jewish history.
