Farewell to our Summer 2025 Visiting Professors: Di-Capua, Markowski, & Zepp-Zwirner

The Jewish Studies Program thanks and bid farewell to our esteemed Summer 2025 Visiting Professors.

As the term comes to an end, the Professors shared parting reflections on their time at Dartmouth.

From Artur Markowski:

Teaching a course on contemporary Jewish history at Dartmouth was a fascinating adventure and challenge. The experience of meeting fantastic students, outstanding scholars, and the unique atmosphere of Dartmouth will remain with me in Poland. I think this is a turning point in my academic work and the beginning of a new journey that I will now take together with Dartmouth and its ideas.

From Susanne Zepp-Zwirner:

I am deeply grateful to the Dartmouth students, faculty, and community for making my stay as Harris Visiting Professor and my summer course on Jewish Latin American Literatures such a rich, joyful, and inspiring experience. I will truly treasure our conversations — and the warmth of Hanover in every sense. The students were exceptional, and the collegiality with the two other guest professors — an intellectual historian of the modern Arab world and a historian of Polish‑Jewish history — marks the beginning of further collaborations.

From Yoav Di-Capua:

It doesn't get much better than this. Teaching such a thoughtful, original, and hard-working group of students was truly a gift. I was equally inspired by the company of fellow visiting faculty, whose brilliant work on Latin American literature and late 19th-century Polish history enriched the experience. I am deeply grateful to the Dartmouth faculty and community for welcoming me and making this summer semester so meaningful. We will continue to work together.
