What's In a Name
SEPTEMBER 9, 2010 THURSDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
What's in a name? Historians say that fewer American immigrants are "Americanizing" their names than ever before. Join us to walk the history of name changing in the United States, and hear the story of a Ukrainian born musician why she changed her name, and how doing so brought her closer to her roots than ever before.

Guest
  • Kirsten Fermalich, Associate Professor of History and Jewish Studies, Michigan State University
  • Alina Simone, Ukrainian born Indie-rock musician
