Josh Price graduated from Yale in 2011, with a BA in Judaic Studies. His senior thesis was a critical translation of selected essays by Chaim Zhitlowsky. Before starting Columbia's Yiddish Studies Ph.D. in 2012, he worked on bibliographic and digitization projects for the National Yiddish Book Center. His main interests are Yiddish literature and the culture and politics of the early-20th century Yiddishist movement, though close, maybe more bourgeois, but ultimately superior, seconds include: cottage cheese mixed with Nutella; Dostoevsky; clandestine viewings of Beyonce videos; less clandestine viewings of French cinema; and the company of a friend.
