This week we learn from Dr. Dalia Wassner, a proud Mexican-American who was the first woman in her family to go to college, and who successfully combined her academic passion for gender studies, Jewish history, and Latin American studies to design what is now known as the Hadassah Brandeis Institute Project on Latin American Jewish & Gender Studies at Brandeis University. In this episode, Dalia talks about her story growing up in both Mexico and the United States, the power of Latino/x mentorship, and the importance of bridging the academic community to the world.
