In Mapping A Life: A Scholar’s Unlikely Journey, Dr. Sally Charnow offers her intellectual autobiography – the unforeseen twists and turns, the chance encounters, the closed doors, and hard-won opportunities. She charts her unlikely journey from modern dancer, choreographer, and arts activist to a historian of France, French Jewry, and France’s post-colonial legacy; from arts administrator to chair of the department of history at Hofstra University and the immediate past co-president of the Society for French Historical Studies. Beyond discussing her scholarly work, Dr. Charnow will help us think about the very nonlinear pathways we forge as we walk through our lives.
