Simo Muir

Simo Muir is a postdoctoral research festival at the University of Leeds School of Music for the project ‘Performing the Jewish Archive.’  He received his MA in Yiddish Studies from SOAS (London University) and PhD in Yiddish Studies from the University of Helsinki. 

“I am particularly interested in Jewish cabaret performance in Helsinki before and during World War II and how the cabaret provides a window into events that official documents do not always reveal  (rivalries  and disagreements, anti-Semitism even among the Jews themselves, etc.)”
