Background to Foreground: Higher Education, Scholarship, and the Jewish Experience
-
Minneapolis, October-November
-
This article was originally presented at a symposium entitled "Background to Foreground: Higher Education, Scholarship, and the Jewish Experience," at the annual meeting of the Association for the Study of Higher Education, Minneapolis, October-November, 1992. I am deeply grateful to Aaron Pallas for introducing me to sociological perspectives on the life course and for reading and commenting, with much wisdom and understanding, on countless drafts; to Estela Bensimon for helping me find a medium to tell this story; to Diane Holt-Reynolds for sharpening my thoughts about the limits of empathic knowing; and to Steven Weiland for organizing the symposium that gave this paper the time and place to be. This story, focused on my father's place in my life and my work, leaves out my mother whose own story of survival in the Holocaust - and far beyond it - I cannot tell, but who, in many ways, made my father's telling, and my own, possible. I am most indebted to her.

Langer's comments parallel those of Sander Gilman, who provides an extensive explanation of the language of the Nazi concentration camps in Inscribing the Other (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1991).

I am indebted to Art Spiegelman who, in his creations, has made this point particularly clear - that the tale of the father and the tale of the father's telling (and the son's coming to know) are integral to understanding intergenerational transmissions of experience. See Art Spiegelman, Maus: A Survivor's Tale (New York: Pantheon, 1986),

See, e.g., my edited volume with Penelope L. Peterson, Learning from Our Lives: Women, Research, and Autobiography in Education (New York: Teachers College Press, 1997). My studies of intellectual identity development among newly tenured faculty and of doctoral students' learning of research, both initiated over the past few years, also reflect this theme.
