TALK | Was the Biblical Joseph on the Spectrum?

Tuesday, November 16

4:00pm to 5:00pm
via Zoom

The biblical Joseph's behaviors, interpersonal relationships, and personal development are often difficult to understand, and at times seem to defy explanation.

Samuel J. Levine, a Touro Law Center professor, will offer a coherent and cohesive reading of Joseph's story that presents a portrait of Joseph as an individual on the autism spectrum. Viewed through this lens, Joseph emerges as a more familiar and less enigmatic individual, exhibiting both strengths and weaknesses commonly associated with autism spectrum disorder.

Stephen Rosenbaum, a UW disability studies scholar and lawyer, will offer commentary.

Open to all, whether your interest is Judaism, biblical text, autism, or disability.

We are committed to providing access, equal opportunity, and reasonable accommodation in its services, programs, activities, education, and employment for individuals with disabilities. To request disability accommodations, contact the UW Disability Services Office at least 10 days (in this case, by Nov 6, 2021) in advance at 206-543-6450 (voice), 206-543-6452 (TTY), 206-685-7264 (fax), or dso@uw.edu.

Zoom link provided upon registration.
 
Cosponsored by the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies, the UW Disability Studies Program, the D Center, and the Haring Center for Inclusive Education. 

Event time is Pacific Time.
