For 2/25: “Queering the Center by Centering the Queer”

This reading is a bit theoretically heavy. Don’t be intimidated! We’ll talk through it together. If you have questions about specific interlocutors of Scheman’s (and there are many!), we can offer suggestions further reading. I’m also attaching here a totally non-required reading, also by Scheman. Taken from the same book, Shifting Ground: Knowledge and Reality, Transgression and Trustworthiness, this extra chapter might help to fill out the picture of her general concerns and epistemological interests as they pertain to Jewishness.
