Black & Jewish, a Talk Series | Abrham Gebremichael: “Ethiopian Jewish Identity: A Journey through the Prism of Scientific Knowledge”
Date and Time
Location
Join the Hutchins Center for a talk that introduces an article that investigates the relationship between knowledge and social reality. It discusses how these relations lead to identity formation. Explicitly, how science as a means of information to society in the modern world influences and shapes societies’ perception. The information or knowledge from these sources is not just facts but molds our social reality over many aspects of life and society’s perception of a minority group. This article focuses on a community called Ethiopian Jews who live in Israel. This community has lived in Israel since the 1980s and faces cultural, economic, racial, and social problems as a group and as individuals.
