Student Kathryn Huether Receives Jerome L. Joss Graduate Student Research Fellowship

Kathryn Huether (PhD, musicology, advisee of Karen Painter) received the Jerome L. Joss Graduate Student Research Fellowship through the University of Minnesota Center for Jewish Studies ($1,700). The Fellowship will cover her expenses for her participation in the Special Lessons and Legacies Conference (LLC) on the Holocaust—“The Holocaust and Europe: Research Trends, Pedagogical Approaches, and Political Challenges,” which will take place November 4-7, 2019, in Munich, Germany. The 2019 LLC is the first ever LLC to take place in Europe, and a central goal of the conference is to stimulate international debate and exchange among Holocaust scholars, not least between those from North America, Europe, and Israel.

Huether’s proposal, “Guiding or Obscuring?: Questioning Treblinka’s Audio Guide and its Sonic Infrastructure” was selected from a pool of 700 applicants. Learn more about Lessons and Legacies.
