A former Ray D. Wolfe Postdoctoral Fellow for Jewish Studies in the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures at the University of Toronto (2011-2013), Rachel Seelig returned to our department as a visiting scholar for the 2015-2016 academic year, during which she completed her first book, Strangers in Berlin: Modern Jewish Literature between East and West, 1919-1933 (University of Michigan Press, 2016).
Check out Rachel’s recent podcast in which she talks about her new work on German-Hebrew bilingualism. The podcast was recorded for an episode of the “Frankely Judaic” series, produced by the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan, where she is currently a fellow.
