Alexa Hagerty, "Still Life with Bones: Genocide, Forensics, and What Remains" (Crown, 2023)
Q: So help us walk us through that. How did you decide you wanted to spend time in Guatemala and Argentina? And what did you hope to learn and experience there?
Alexa explains her initial project in Argentina and her discovery of the Argentine Forensics team, which sparked her interest in the field of forensic anthropology.
Alexa Hagerty, "Still Life with Bones: Genocide, Forensics, and What Remains" (Crown, 2023)
Q: So Alexa, I always start with the same question. And so I'd like to invite you to say just a little bit about yourself and how you became interested in anthropology to begin with.
Alexa discusses her gradual interest in anthropology, stemming from her initial reluctance and her eventual engagement with the discipline through influential readings.
Lisa Silverman, "The Postwar Antisemite: Culture and Complicity After the Holocaust" (Oxford UP, 2025)
Q: How does Jewish difference and this notion of the antisemite work similarly or differently in the American context?
In the American context, antisemitism still exists, and it interacts with racism, notably seen in the way Walter Winchell and Josephine Baker's incident unfolded.
Lisa Silverman, "The Postwar Antisemite: Culture and Complicity After the Holocaust" (Oxford UP, 2025)
Q: So how can you then kind of complete the story of how you got interested in this particular project about the postwar antisemite?
I first got involved when I was working for the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, leading me to explore the cultural framework of antisemitism in postwar Austria and Germany.
