- Professor Andrea M. Berlin
- CL 332 and CL 337, 332 and 337 4200 Fifth Ave
In this lecture, Dr. Berlin will draw on archeological evidence to showcase how ancient Judeans in the first century BCE began the practice of “household Judaism,” using specific goods to infuse homes and lives with a religious sensibility and common material identity that was noticeably distinct from the cosmopolitan lifestyles surrounding them. This lecture is in memory of the late Professor Jerry Rosenberg, a formative leader of the Jewish studies program at the University of Pittsburgh. This event is co-sponsored by The Jewish Studies Program, Nationality Rooms and Intercultural Exchange Programs and the Israel Heritage Room Committee.

- Global Hub - 1st Floor Posvar
The “What’s in a Name?” series aims to open a doorway to explore issues that affect us every day, and that, ultimately, reverberate through the most intimate aspects of who we are. While we will explore basic tools and name etiquette, with the kindness and respect we all deserve, we intend to reflect about what our names say about us, and how they may be used to define who we are.
As part of the natural evolution of the series, we invite audiences explore place names and how they impact and reflect upon our identities, how we are perceived, and how we navigate the frameworks they set in motion. This session will be an introduction to place names and their significance as a part of a community's identity, touching upon themes of colonialism, enslavement, migration, and more.
Presenters:
Dr. Ruth Mostern, Director, World History Center
Dr. Keila Grinberg, Director, Center for Latin American Studies
