One of my biggest priorities with respect to my research has been to get the word out about Ladino so that we can work together to document and celebrate it while it still exists. I'm really grateful to have been invited to write some articles for and give some presentations to public audiences in the last few years. Here are some highlights:
Blog posts on the UW Stroum Center for Jewish Studies website:
"Aki estamos (we are here): Revitalizing Ladino in Paris and beyond" (4 December 2018) | link [also available in Turkish here]
"Exploring Ladino's past, present, and future at the ucLADINO Symposium" (5 June 2018) | link
"Seattle's fifth annual Ladino Day breaks tradition and hosts sold-out concert with Yasmin Levy" (13 November 2017) | link
"Defining the Ladino speech community in Seattle" (29 June 2015) | link
"Ladino from Seattle to Buenos Aires" (2 January 2015) | link
"A celebration 500 years in the making" (10 January 2014) | link
I was interviewed in early 2019 for an NBC News story, which is available here.
*Note that I study the linguistics of the Ladino language, not the linguists!I was interviewed in late 2018 for a Jewish in Seattle Magazine story, which is available here.
