The Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies is proud to share that Dr. Alexandra Birch, a Mellon Teaching Fellow at the Harriman Institute and Lecturer in History, has been awarded the prestigious Douglas Chalmers Graduate Scholars Lectureship by Emeritus Professors in Columbia (EPIC). This honor recognizes outstanding graduate students whose work exemplifies intellectual distinction and a strong commitment to teaching and public engagement.
The Selection Committee commended Dr. Birch for a distinctive scholarly voice that merges performance and research, with particular attention to recovering music lost during the Holocaust and honoring composers whose legacies have long been overlooked.
Congratulations to Dr. Alexandra Birch on this well-earned recognition.
