I am researcher with the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment and a lecturer in the Labor Studies Department at UCLA. My research and teaching explores immigration, labor, and working-class culture in the American west and I am working on a book manuscript entitled, Yiddish in the Land of Sunshine: Jewish Radicalism, Labor and Culture in Los Angeles. Having served for nearly ten years as the Chief Curator of Mapping Jewish LA, a project of the UCLA Leve Center for Jewish Studies, I have served as curator, author, and editor for a variety of collaborative digital projects at UCLA and beyond. I am also a proud member of UC-AFT, which represents 6,000 lecturers and librarians at the University of California, and elected chair of our Communications Committee.
