SUMMARY:Funny\, You Don't Look Funny: Jews\, Comedy\, and Gender
DESCRIPTION:The Sam & Helen Stahl Center for Jewish Studies is proud to have Jennifer Caplan present “Funny\, You Don’t Look Funny: Jews\, Comedy\, and Gender” as part of the ongoing Faye Greenberg Sigman “Woman of Valor” Lecture series on Wednesday\, March 18\, at 7 p.m. at the Golda Meir Library\, 4th floor conference center. The event also has a virtual option. \nThis talk examines trends in the way Jewish institutions have typically “counted” Jewish engagement in the late 20th and 21st centuries and uses those trends to argue that American Judaism looks healthier and more robust if we think differently about engagement. Humor\, it turns out\, is not only a valid way to approach this revisioning\, but also one of the best ways to highlight positive trends in American Jewish identification. Rather than relying on older “continuity-based” models of what Judaism needs to do to survive that put disproportionate pressure (and blame) on Jewish women\, a contemporary Jewish humor reimagines many aspects of Jewish life — including Jewish gender tropes — and offers younger generations a vision of Jewishness they want to embrace. \nJennifer Caplan is The Jewish Foundation Chair of Cincinnati Chair in Judaic Studies at University of Cincinnati. She is the author of “Funny\, You Don’t Look Funny: Judaism and Comedy from the Silent Generation to Millennials” (2023) and co-editor of “Wit Happens: Global Jewish Humor”(2026). She publishes broadly on Judaism and popular culture with a focus on gender and representation and is currently working on “Unmasked: Jewish Characters in DC and Marvel.” \nTo attend virtually\, register on this webpage. \nThe lecture is made by possible by the Taxman and Temkin families\, and is co-sponsored by 51ÁÔĆć’s Departments of English and Women’s and Gender Studies. \n
