Mary Talks: Jennifer Hansen-Glucklich (In Person)

Please join us on Wednesday, January 23, at 7:00 p.m. for the latest installment of Mary Talks.

Jennifer Hansen-Glucklich, Assistant Professor of German, will present "Rituals of Remembrance: How (and Why) We Remember the Holocaust the Way We Do."

Her lecture will explore how Holocaust museums use aesthetic, spatial, and ritual techniques to create remembrance within specific national and cultural contexts. Photography exhibits, memorials, architecture, and video art displays are a few of the forms that shape how we remember the Holocaust. This lecture is based on Hansen-Glucklich's book, "Holocaust Memory Reframed: Museums and the Challenges of Representation" (2014).

This event is free to attend, but registration is requested. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Join us for light refreshments at the conclusion of the program.
