Looking at my old post now makes me think that I should have, as I promised, come up with a thoroughgoing strategy but to be honest, I haven't: such comments still pull me up short. I think what you say about "the Jews" as a kind of floating signifier (that may or may not include people beyond that term's usual extent) does much to account for my earlier experiences and indeed the ways in which some international students I teach continue to see the world today.Megan Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03584562106579704547noreply@blogger.com
