CollegeSource© by Career Guidance Foundation 5 QUEENS COLLEGE OF CUNY * QUEENS COLLEGE TODAY Queens College/City University of New York Flushing, New York 11367 718-997-5000 Shirley Strum Kenny, President Queens College, called "World Class" by the LondonTimes, is dedicated to the idea that a great education should be accessible to talented young people of all backgrounds - ethnic and financial. It is a global gathering place for ideas. The College's colorful kaleidoscope of tongues, talents, and cultures - 66 different native languages are spoken here provides an extraordinary educational environment. A strong liberal arts curriculum assures students education for a full career and a full life. Opportunities abound with special programs developed for honors students; students in pre- law, pre-med, and business; adults; "fresh start" students; foreign language speakers. In all their diversity, students come first. Queens College was cited byThe Selective Guide to Colleges, published by the New York Times, as the strongest of the 19 colleges in the City University of New York. Like other CUNY colleges, it is a commuter school. Funded by the State of New York, Queens College serves all the people of the state. Most Queens College students live in New York City's five boroughs, or in Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester counties. The campus is located at Exit 24 of the Long Island Expressway (I-495) on the corner of Kissena Boulevard in Flushing, close to public transportation (the Long Island Railroad, and Queens and New York City bus and subway lines). Enrollment The student population is diverse and achievement oriented. More than 18,000 students are enrolled in all divisions. The graduate student enrollment is over 3,000. Student Achievement Recent graduates have won fellowships, scholarships, and assistantships for study at many of the country's leading graduate schools, including Harvard, Yale, Northwestern, Emory, and MIT. A number of Queens College students received special awards for graduate study, most notably two recent Salk Fellowships. Over the years, Queens College students have had an acceptance rate to medical schools of 60 to 75 percent. Faculty The faculty is a roll-call of excellence world-class research scholars who care deeply about teaching. For day and evening, including adjuncts, the faculty numbers over 1,100; of the 600 full- time faculty, more than 80 percent hold the doctoral degree. Research Recent awards to support faculty research have included grants from New York State agencies to support ethnic studies projects and day-care training services, as well as the establishment of a Reference Resource Center for the New York State Department of Social Services. Federal grants facilitate the conduct of many basic research projects in the sciences, some with important implications for causes and treatment of disease. Undergraduates are often deeply involved in Queens College projects, working in laboratories, classrooms, or in the field. Because of the diversity of ongoing research and training efforts, students are able to participate in and gain important insights into potential career paths and to prepare for further graduate training. Academic Structure Queens College consists of an undergraduate day session (College of Liberal Arts and Sciences), an evening session, and a Graduate Division. In addition, there is a Summer Session that serves all branches of the College. There are three academic divisions: Arts and Humanities, Mathematics and Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences. CollegeSource© by Career Guidance Foundation 6 QUEENS COLLEGE OF CUNY * The Division of the Arts and Humanities includes the departments of Art; Classical and Oriental Languages; Communication Arts and Sciences; Comparative Literature; Drama, Theatre, and Dance; English; Germanic, Slavic, and East European Languages; Library; Linguistics; Romance Languages; and the Aaron Copland School of Music. The Division of Mathematics and the Natural Sciences includes the departments of Biology; Chemistry and Biochemistry; Computer Science; Geology; Health and Physical Education; Home Economics; Mathematics; Physics; and Psychology. The Division of the Social Sciences includes the departments of Accounting and Information Systems; Anthropology; Economics; History; Philosophy; Political Science; Sociology; Special Programs (SEEK); Student Personnel; Urban Studies; the Graduate School of Library and Information Studies; and the School of Education, composed of Elementary and Early Childhood Education and Services; Secondary Education and Youth Services; and Educational and Community Programs.

A fee will be charged. ABSTRACT Yiddish and the Avant-Garde in American Jewish Poetry Sarah Ponichtera This dissertation traces the evolution of a formalist literary strategy through the twentieth century in both Yiddish and English, through literary and historical analyses of poets and poetic groups from the turn of the century until the 1980s. It begins by exploring the ways in which the Yiddish poet Yehoash built on the contemporary interest in the primitive as he developed his aesthetics in the 1900s, then turns to the modernist poetic group In zikh (the Introspectivists) and their efforts to explore primitive states of consciousness in individual subjectivity. In the third chapter, the project turns to Louis Zukofsky's inclusion of Yehoash's Yiddish translations of Japanese poetry in his own English epic, written in dialogue with Ezra Pound. It concludes with an examination of the Language poets of the 1970s, particularly Charles Bernstein's experimental verse, which explores the way that language shapes consciousness through the use of critical and linguistic discourse. Each of these poets or poetic groups uses experimental poetry as a lens through which to peer at the intersections of language and consciousness, and each explicitly identifies Yiddish (whether as symbol or reality) as an essential component of their poetic technique.

    Covenantal Poetics: Jewish, Irish, and African American Modernisms Beyond the Lyric by Joshua Logan Wall A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in the University of Michigan 2018 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Julian Levinson, Chair Emeritus Professor Laurence Goldstein Associate Professor Joshua Miller Professor Deborah Dash Moore Associate Professor Gillian White Joshua Logan Wall [email protected] ORCID iD : 0000-0002-6983-4850 © Joshua Logan Wall 2018 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My work on this project was supported by a variety of individuals, but a handful of institutions also deserve recognition for providing me with opportunities to conduct research. Through the Rackham Graduate School at the University of Michigan, I was supported by a Pre- Doctoral Research Fellowship, a Humanities Research Fellowship, a One-Term Dissertation Fellowship, funding for summer research, and a variety of conference travel grants that allowed me to present early versions of this research. The Department of English Language and Literature and the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies also provided funding for conference travel; the Frankel Center, moreover, provided generous research and language study funding during my summers. Special collections libraries and librarians at the University of Texas, Yale University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Michigan were helpful and informative when I visited. I owe particular thanks to my committee members. Archival research has been a central component of this project, and Josh Miller’s advice and encouragement deserves much credit for this. He’s also among the university’s best listeners. Larry Goldstein first introduced me to the poetry of Lola Ridge.

  • Early Testimonies of Jewish Survivors of World War II
    Tragedy and Triumph Early Testimonies of Jewish Survivors of World War II Compiled and Translated by Freda Hodge ABOUT THIS BOOK In this collection Freda Hodge retrieves early voices of Holocaust survivors. Men, women and children relate experiences of deportation and ghetto­ isation, forced labour camps and death camps, death marches and liber­ ation. Such eye­witness accounts collected in the immediate post­war period constitute, as the historian Feliks Tych points out, the most important body of Jewish documents pertaining to the history of the Holocaust. The fresh­ ness of memory makes these early voices profoundly different from, and historically more significant than, later recollections gathered in oral history programs. Carefully selected and painstakingly translated, these survivor accounts were first published between 1946 and 1948 in the Yiddish journal Fun Letzten Khurben (‘From the Last Destruction’) in postwar Germany, by refugees waiting in ‘Displaced Persons’ camps, in the American zone of occupation, for the arrival of travel documents and visas. These accounts have not previously been available in English. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Freda Hodge holds degrees in English, Linguistics and Jewish Studies, and has taught at universities and colleges in South Africa and Australia. Fluent in Hebrew as well as Yiddish, she works at the Holocaust Centre in Melbourne conducting interviews with survivors and families.
