Her research explores why growing numbers of Poles are identifying as ancestrally Jewish amidst what has widely been recognized as a Poland\u2019s \u201cJewish revival\u201d (Lehrer 2013). This revival is striking given the controversial historiography surrounding Polish-Jewish relations, the rise of ethno-nationalism, and the fact that 95% of Poland\u2019s population is Roman Catholic. Yasmine\u2019s dissertation investigates the meanings and effects of this Jewish revival by centering the lives and experiences of Jewish-identifying Poles, with a particular focus on Poles who now identify as ancestrally Jewish although they did not previously do so. The following three questions direct her research: what do Jewish-identifying Poles understand as constituting Jewishness, Polishness, and the relationship between these identifications, and how do these understandings come to be? How do Jewish-identifying Poles express their Jewishness, Polishness, and the relationship between these two identifications: in what public or private spaces, among which actors, and through which statements, practices, material forms and aesthetics? What and whom do Jewish-identifying Poles lean on as proof of Jewish kinship\u2014DNA tests, rabbis, genealogists, etc.\u2014and what investments do others have in dis\/proving their Jewishness? By exploring Jewish-identifying Poles\u2019 lives, Yasmine seeks to probe broader reasons for and implications of ethno-religious identification.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside her academic work, Yasmine practices visual art and creative writing.
