La pensee magique: A Turkish Sephardic Family Responds to Multigenerational Trauma

Dr. Nimisha Barton is a Visiting Researcher at University of California at Irvine, and a diversity and inclusion consultant for institutions of higher education. Her first monograph, Reproductive Citizens (Cornell UP, 2020), analyzes inclusive social legislation, an expansive welfare apparatus, familialist employer policies, and populationist state and social practices in Third Republican France. Winner of the AHA’s J. Russell Major Prize for best book in French history, Reproductive Citizens reveals how traditional outsiders to the nation-state – including women, immigrants, and colonial subjects – secure the social rights of citizenship and belonging within the national community. She has published in French Politics, Culture and Society and the Journal of Women's History.
