Next up is Katy Heady, with a paper on Jewish male reactions to female suffrage in the mid-1920s. Katy’s paper has considered perspectives from liberal and orthodox authors on women’s political participation in Jewish communities

The inaugural panel continues: we’ve heard Sophia Buck on her fascinating project on “Enemy Studies”, charting claims about “Two Germanies” esp in UK German Studies. Now Bill Niven talking about meta-memory, meta-memorials and the Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas
