2008 Freilich Visiting Fellows
Stein, A/Professor Arlene
Dates: 1 February 2008 to 26 April 2008
Research Project: The 'Second Generation's' Quest for Holocaust Memory
Arlene Stein studies the intersection of identities, culture, and social change. Her latest book, The Stranger Next Door: The Story of a Small Community’s Battle Over Sex, Faith, and Civil Rights (Beacon Press), documents how a rightwing campaign to restrict sexual rights generated cultural conflicts and altered longstanding relationships among residents of one community. Sex and Sensibility: Stories of a Lesbian Generation (University of California Press), her first book, examines the ways feminists constructed new understandings of sexuality, allowing women to reimagine their sexual identities, and looks at how these identities evolved over time. She is also the editor of two essay collections, Sisters, Sexperts, Queers (Plume) and Sexuality and Gender (co-edited with Christine Williams, Blackwell Publishers). Arlene Stein is currently studying the lives of descendents of Holocaust survivors in relation to the burgeoning public discussion of the Holocaust in the US. She has written about culture, religion, and social movements for The Nation, The Oregonian, The Forward, and Newsday, and has taught at the University of Oregon and the University of Essex. She teaches courses on the sociology of gender, sexuality, and culture
