Joanna Spyra

I am a PhD candidate in Jewish history at the University of Bergen in Norway. My doctoral project explores different Jewish health care organizations and the relationship between ethnicity and philanthropy in interwar Argentina. I graduated from Jagiellonian University and Cracow University of Economics, and most recently from Brandeis University. I have previous work experience from the JCC Krakow, YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in NYC, the Polish Embassy in Tel Aviv, and the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, MA.
