Abby S Gondek
From 2019-2021, I was the Morgenthau Scholar-in-Residence at the FDR Presidential Library and Museum and the Roosevelt Institute. I utilized digital humanities tools to raise awareness of Holocaust materials held at the FDR library. I graduated with a PhD in Global and Socio-cultural Studies (major in Sociology/Anthropology) from FIU in May 2018. I completed a MA in African and African Diaspora Studies at FIU in May 2015. From 2011-2013 I worked as a New York City Teaching Fellow (a public high school teacher) and completed a M.S. in Teaching Urban Adolescents with Disabilities at Long Island University in Brooklyn. During my master’s program, I completed several qualitative research studies that investigated how NYC public school environments perpetuate race and gender oppression and restrict teachers’ abilities to create spaces for student voice/agency. Earlier in my time in New York, I worked as a Jewish diversity educator, Kaplan private tutor and adjunct instructor in Sociology and Psychology. Before moving to New York, I completed a M.A. in Women’s Studies from San Diego State (graduated May 2008) and worked as a Graduate Teaching Associate. In this position I designed and led my own introductory Women’s Studies courses. My master’s thesis focused on the “borderland” experiences of Afro-Jewish women in Brazil. In my dissertation (now book project), I analyzed the transnational, trans-racial and trans-disciplinary conversations between Jewish women/women of color in the history of sociology and anthropology between the 1930s and 1970s.
