In one chapter of my forthcoming book "People Without History Are Dust" I examine Gad Beck, his queerness, sexual barter, sexualized violence, agency, his decision to out his lovers and colleagues, the whole beautiful mess:

His memoir, co-written with Frank Heibert, is available in English with @uwiscpress.bsky.social and I have it on good authority it still sells well. No surprise! it is one of the most captivating, moving, funny, and authentic reads you will get your hands on.

We hope to highlight the excellent research on care and the Jewish experience throughout historical time and across geographic space that is being done at Leiden specifically and in the Netherlands/Flanders more broadly. Colleagues are invited to give a short paper.
