Welcome to Times Will Tell, the weekly podcast from The Times of Israel. This week, we’re speaking with Andrew Porwancher, a professor at the University of Oklahoma, and author of the recently published, "The Jewish World of Alexander Hamilton," about the founding father's Jewish background and influences.
Porwancher spent the better part of a decade researching "The Jewish World of Alexander Hamilton," before Lin Manuel-Miranda's musical hit on Broadway, changing the way millions think about spoken word and the founding father's lasting influence on the American democracy.
We’ll discuss Porwancher's research and his engrossing thesis about American Jewry, including what it meant to be a Jew in Hamilton's time.
A native of Princeton, New Jersey, Porwancher earned degrees from Brown and Northwestern before completing his PhD in history at Cambridge. He currently serves as the Wick Cary Associate Professor at the University of Oklahoma and the Ernest May Fellow at Harvard University’s Belfer Center.
