In this episode, Ren Bell, a graduate student in Holocaust and genocide studies at Stockton University joins guest host (and Another Education Is Possible producer) Samantha Hoehle to explore Ren's trajectory as an anti-Zionist Jew. The conversation moves through Ren's work in theater and performance and questions the future of Holocaust and genocide studies.
