Sn 1: Ep. 11: Language as Performativity and Identity: A Conversation with Dr. Sharon Avni


Listen Later

In this conversation, we discuss congregational Hebrew use and approaches to language in Jewish education. This conversation addresses the role of religious languages in schooling- across religions, as we look to where we are now, and in the future. We explore how we use language to make claims about our identities and the “story of language.” Who controls language? What is the role of language in defining who we are and our beliefs?
