Emily Ewing

Kaylee Thompson

UNLV’s Emily Ewing & Kaylee Thompson have won a 2015 Phi Kappa Phi Study Abroad Grant, one of only 50 awarded nationwide.

Dr. Beth Rosenberg’s talk is based on her book Modernism, Immigration, and Jews: Aesthetics of the Ugly, forthcoming from Northwestern University Press in 2016. She will discuss how the “language of immigration” works within early twentieth-century debates over Jewish immigration into Britain and illustrate the parallels to current debates over immigration into the U. S. Like the language surrounding Jewish immigration, the assertions that today’s immigrants are “rapists and killers” and “anchor babies” carry metaphoric connotations that create, rather than reflect, the character of the migrant. The mixer starts at 2:30 p.m., with the lecture beginning at 3 p.m. in the Barrick Museum Auditorium.

Phi Kappa Phi Student Meeting, Student Union 211, 11 a.m. to 12 noon.

Deadline for submitting an application for $1,000 Study Abroad Grant.
