Reconsidering Early Jewish Nationalist Ideologies Seminar: Rose Stair (Oxford): Age and gender in German-language cultural Zionism

Series
Israel Studies Seminar
Embed
The fourth lecture in the Reconsidering Early Jewish Nationalist Ideologies seminar series. Rose Stair discusses cultural Zionism through a focus on age and gender.
This paper examines the construction and mobilization of age categories in the German-language cultural Zionism of the turn of the 20th century. Presenting examples of texts and visual art that employ models and metaphors of different age identities, Rose Stair suggests that age functioned as a conceptual language through which the cultural Zionist community expressed their relationship to the Jewish past and Zionist future. She argues that these conceptions of age cannot be detached from the community’s assumptions about gender, meaning that even the metaphorical use of age imagery remained tethered to the social reality of family structures and bourgeois gender roles.

Rose Stair is DPhil student in the Theology and Religion faculty at the University of Oxford, and previously studied at the University of Chicago Divinity School. Her doctoral research looks at age and gender in German-language cultural Zionism, and their articulation through textual and visual sources.

Looking back on 4 years in data science

Series
Department of Statistics
Embed
Jonny Brooks-Bartlett, Senior machine learning engineer at Spotify, gives a talk on his experiences as a data scientist and as machine learning engineer in top rated companies around the world.
It's been almost 4 years since I left academia to work as a data scientist in industry. In that time I've worked in several teams at a couple of companies. I've also spoken to many other data scientists and consulted literature to get a better picture of the current landscape. In this presentation I take you on my journey from the point at which I decided to become a data scientist to now becoming a senior machine learning engineer at a global music streaming service, Spotify. I'll describe the projects I've worked on and do a bit of a deep dive into a ranking system that I built whilst working at Deliveroo. Finally I'll discuss some observations that I have about data science in general that I hope will give a better idea about how data science works in industry and how it differs from what one might do in an academic setting.

Brief bio: Jonny Brooks-Bartlett is a senior machine learning engineer at Spotify working on improving the search experience for customers. Outside of work Jonny is a keen science communicator delivering public talks on science maths and AI. He also enjoys sports and taking part in functional fitness competitions
