NCJSS Welcomes Adam Cohn

The North Carolina Jewish Studies Seminar welcomes Adam Cohn to present on a work in progress.

Adam Cohn is Assistant Professor of Spanish and faculty in Jewish Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His research on modern Spanish cultural production falls into three main areas: Hispanic Jewish Studies, Spanish Civil War literature, and the work of Federico García Lorca. Adam's current book project examines how Spanish philosephardi literary culture (1900-1950) increasingly problematized the nation-state and provided a platform for Jewish intellectuals to emerge into the public sphere. Theoretically, this project engages questions of memory, coloniality, and diaspora. He also has research interests in Sephardi Studies and literary translation.
