Intros seem to be a thing, so hi! I'm Sheera.

I'm a #professor of #comparativeliterature and #jewishstudies at #oberlincollege.

I work on modern Hebrew and Arabic #poetry, with an interest in the intersection of lit. and political crisis and the poet as public figure. Currently completing a book on the national poets of Palestine/Israel.

I'm a mama to a delightful 3 y/o.

I post about Palestine/Israel, motherhood, Jewishness, literature, academia, teaching, and my life. Also an avid deleter.

@stalpaz שלום-עליכם!
(אני לא יודע העברעיש, אבֿל כּן ייִדיש!)
@misha ערב טוב! I wish I knew more than a smattering of Yiddish. I hope to study it in the coming years.
@stalpaz knowing hebrew and english gets you 70% there! just add a bit of german, russian, french, and slavik influence
