I am a scholar and a practitioner of translation. My research focuses on popular fiction and translation in the modern Jewish world. I work primarily in Hebrew, Ladino, and Yiddish, and especially translations into these languages from French, Russian, English, and Spanish. My interest lies in cross-cultural and transnational circulation of texts and ideas across linguistic, social, and political borders, and especially in contact and exchange between Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews in the modern era.

As a comparatist, my training enables me to integrate different methods, genres, and periods to explore questions about the development of modern ideas about race, religion, memory, gender, and sexuality through popular culture.
