Michael Abrams has been invited to present a paper, entitled “Fiddler on the Streets: How Activists Used Jewish-American Popular Culture to Mobilize a Movement,” that he wrote for the 400-level History course “Mass Culture and the Making of the Modern.” The Undergraduate Judaic Studies Conference where Michael will present his work will take place at Princeton University, on February 14, 2016. His research explores the pop culture strategies of the Soviet Jewry Movement, a protest movement born in the late 1960s, which advocated for the human rights of Jews in the USSR. “Through the use of popular art, music, and religion,” Michael argues, “youthful activists created political change via cultural means.”
