SUMMARY:Jennifer Caplan\, “Funny\, You Don’t Look Funny: Jews\, Comedy\, and Gender”
DESCRIPTION:Faye Greenberg Sigman “Woman of Valor” Lecture\n\nWednesday\, March 18\, 2026 at 7:00 pm\nGolda Meir Library\, 4th Floor\nor via Zoom Register at https://bit.ly/3VmLcxE\n\nThis talk examines trends in the way Jewish institutions have typically “counted” Jewish engagement in the late 20th and 21st centuries and uses those trends to argue that American Judaism looks healthier and more robust if we think differently about engagement. Humor\, it turns out\, is not only a valid way to approach this revisioning\, but also one of the best ways to highlight positive trends in American Jewish identification. Rather than relying on older “continuity-based” models of what Judaism needs to do to survive that put disproportionate pressure (and blame) on Jewish women\, acontemporary Jewish humor reimagines many aspects of Jewish life—including Jewish gender tropes—and offers younger generations a vision of Jewishness they want to embrace.\n\nJennifer Caplan is The Jewish Foundation Chair of Cincinnati Chair in Judaic Studies at University of Cincinnati. She is the author of Funny\, You Don’t Look Funny: Judaism and Comedy from the Silent Generation to Millennials (2023) and co-editor of Wit Happens: Global Jewish Humor (2026). She publishes broadly on Judaism and popular culture with a focus on gender and representation and is currently working on Unmasked: Jewish Characters in DC and Marvel. \nMade by possible by the generosity of the Taxman and Temkin families.\nCosponsored by UWM’s Departments of English and Women’s and Gender Studies. \n

SUMMARY:C21 Spring Lecture with Kyle Whyte: Kinship\, Our Experience of Time\, and Environmental Responsibility
DESCRIPTION:We are often given mixed signals about the relationship between our responsibility to take action to address climate change and our sense of time. Is there a climate crisis that is so urgent that we must take whatever measures are necessary to lower carbon footprints? Or will buying too much into emotions of urgency generate hasty solutions that actually stymie progress? Some Indigenous traditions offer ethics based on responsibility and kinship that present ways in which time and ethics can be aligned\, allowing us to be urgent but moral\, and address the physical causes of climate change while fostering solidarity with the communities who experience climate injustice. \nDr. Whyte’s research addresses moral and political issues concerning climate policy and Indigenous peoples\, the ethics of cooperative relationships between Indigenous peoples and science organizations\, and problems of Indigenous justice in public and academic discussions of food sovereignty\, environmental justice\, and the anthropocene. He is an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. \nThe Center for 21st Century Studies (C21) fosters innovative research and community engagement at the intersection of the humanities\, arts\, and sciences. C21’s theme for 2024-2025 is Slow Knowing: The Pace of Being Human\, with programming and sponsored research that calls attention to embodied processes of building and maintaining collective life that resist the fast-paced efficiency models and short attention spans that increasingly define human responses to 21st century social\, political\, and ecological challenges. \nDoors open at 5:00pm. Refreshments will be served before and after the talk. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Prior registration is requested. \nFor more information and a registration link\, visit: https://uwm.edu/c21/event/slow-knowing-kyle-whyte/

SUMMARY:The Crime of Menticide: Antisemitism and Hate Speech in American Law
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 Sam and Helen Stahl Center for Jewish Studies\, Distinguished Lecture by James Loeffler. This event is both in-person or via Zoom. To register for the Zoom link see https://wisconsin-edu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8tdtZrqyTdecQvrjdfKEyg#/registration \nCan law limit hate speech without violating the First Amendment? In 1977\, a group of Holocaust survivors from Skokie\, Illinois filed a class action lawsuit to stop a planned neo-Nazi march by alleging menticide — the psychological equivalent of genocide. Nazi words and symbols constituted a form of violence\, they claimed\, not constitutionally protected speech. In this lecture\, historian James Loeffler reconstructs this curious episode and discusses its larger implications for the contemporary debate over antisemitism and free speech in American law.  \nJames Loeffler is Felix Posen Professor of Jewish History at Johns Hopkins University\, and co-editor of the Association for Jewish Studies Review. His writings include two award-winning books\, Rooted Cosmopolitans: Jews and Human Rights in the Twentieth Century and The Most Musical Nation: Jews and Culture in the Late Russian Empire\, and two edited volumes\, The Law of Strangers: Jewish Lawyers and International Law in the Twentieth Century and A Jew in the Street: New Views on European Jewish History. He is currently writing a book about antisemitism and the First Amendment in postwar America\, which grew out of his Atlantic magazine article about his coverage of the trial of the White Supremacist organizers of the 2017 attack on Charlottesville. \nContact Rachel Baum at rbaum@uwm.edu or 414-229-5156 with questions or for assistance.

SUMMARY:The Many Mrs. Maisels - The History of Jewish Female Stand-Up Comedians
DESCRIPTION:Before The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel\, there was a long history of Jewish female comedians\, standing up and speaking out. Although stand-up comedy is often described as a ‘boys’ club\,’ the truth is that there have always been influential women on the scene. Alongside Jewish male comics like Groucho Marx\, Lenny Bruce\, Jack Benny\, and Jerry Seinfeld\, there were pioneering Jewish female stand-ups like Jean Carroll\, Joan Rivers\, Totie Fields\, and Sarah Silverman\, offering their inimitable insights on the experience of being a Jew—and a woman—in the United States. From tackling double standards to deflating stereotypes like the “Jewish American Princess\,” Jewish female stand-up comedians have made major contributions to the way that American audiences have seen Jewish women—and the way that Jewish women have seen themselves. \nPresented by Grace Overbeke\, assistant professor in the theatre department at Columbia College. Her academic focus is in comedy studies and has been published in Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies\, Theatre Topics\, Theatre Annual\, The New England Theatre Journal\, Theatre Survey\, Studies in American Humor\, and The Jewish Forward. She holds a BA in theatre and English from Wesleyan University and an MA and PhD. from Northwestern University in theatre and drama. \nThe Faye Sigman Woman of Valor Lecture is made possible by the generosity of the Taxman and Temkin families. \nThis is a hybrid event with both an in-person and virtual option. Free but registration required at https://wisconsin-edu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_MA66E_0MQU2q8Ftf05k99g#/registration \nCosponsored by UWM’s Departments of English and Women’s and Gender Studies; and programs in Digital Arts and Culture; Film Studies; and Journalism\, Advertising\, and Media Studies

SUMMARY:Translating and Recovering Miriam Karpilove\, Yiddish Authoress
DESCRIPTION:Jessica Kirzane presents the 2023 Faye Greenberg Sigman Woman of Valor Lecture.  \nIn person and via Zoom. For Zoom link register at https://bit.ly/Kirzane \nMiriam Karpilove (1888-1956) was a prolific Yiddish writer certain of her own importance\, even as she was ignored by critics and largely forgotten during her own lifetime. In this lecture\, Jessica Kirzane\, who has devoted the past several years to translating and championing Karpilove’s work\, will explore the author’s barbed criticism of turn-of-the-century Yiddish societal expectations around gender and sexuality.  Interweaving Karpilove’s biography with excerpts and discussion of her clever and humorous writing\, Kirzane will paint a portrait of a quick-witted writer and the worlds she inhabited and created.   \nJessica Kirzane is the assistant instructional professor of Yiddish at the University of Chicago and the editor-in-chief of In geveb: A Journal of Yiddish Studies. She is the translator of three works by Miriam Karpilove: Diary of a Lonely Girl\, or the Battle Against Free Love (Syracuse University Press\, 2020)\, Judith: a tale of love and woe (Farlag Press\, 2022) and A Provincial Newspaper and Other Stories (Syracuse University Press\, forthcoming). Kirzane publishes regularly about Yiddish language pedagogy and Yiddish Studies pedagogy more broadly\, in addition to her scholarship on representations of gender and race in American Jewish literature. \nThe lecture is made possible by the generosity of the Taxman and Temkin families.
