For Avinoam Patt, the Doris and Simon Konover Chair of Judaic Studies and the Director of the Center for Judaic Studies and Contemporary Jewish Life, 2020 has been a big year in more ways than one.<\/p>\n

In the midst of the global pandemic, two books Patt co-edited were published earlier this year: \u201cLaughter After: Humor and the Holocaust\u201d and \u201cUnderstanding and Teaching the Holocaust.\u201d Patt recently sat down with Julie Bartucca for the third installment of the \u201cBrave Space\u201d interview series to discuss the role of humor in coping with horrific events, the current climate of discrimination and anti-Semitism, and what needs to change to make our University and our society equitable and inclusive for all.<\/p>\n
