Hannah Wickham

Ph.D Student

Background

I completed my Hon. BA in Religious Studies at Mount Allison University.

My research focuses on Tkhines, the intimate Yiddish prayers primarily aimed, written, and performed by women. These texts covered issues of daily life and life cycle events, playing a crucial role in the folk practices of Ashkenazi Jews and offering us critical insight into a worldview defined by shared feeling.

Outside of school, I am a hobby crafter and enjoy embroidery, quilting, and repairing clothes.
