Isadora Kianovsky

Isadora Kianovsky Headshot

Isadora Kianovsky (she/her) graduated from Smith College in 2023 with a major in Jewish Studies. She is especially interested in the intersection of Jewish Studies with History, Literature (Yiddish lit in particular!), Gender/Sexuality Studies, Archives, Education/Outreach Programming, Heritage Studies, and Foreign Languages. These interests, combined with her love of storytelling, lead her to write a lot about Jewish themes of family, feminism, mysticism, travel, and memory.
