Kayla Cohen
Kayla is an undergraduate student at the University of California, Berkeley. Her major remains undecided (and she, indecisive). Kayla lived in West Jerusalem on a gap year program between high school and college. She is interested in studying individuals’ self-concepts and the interplay between the self and the other – both within singular and collective identities. She likes people and paradox.
Cohen’s book focuses on the fundamental question: What defines Jewish peoplehood/personhood, if, at different places and points in time, it couldn’t so clearly be defined in resistance to an “other?”
