Interview with Dylan Goodman '16, 2019 March 16
Scope and Contents
Oral history interview and transcript with Dylan Goodman '16 conducted on March 16, 2019. Dylan Goodman recounts memorable people, who were sources of support and/or contributed to his understanding of Jewishness, during his time at Davidson. He discusses how he felt the need to hide his Jewish identity and how his queer identity was prioritized in his identity development at Davidson. Goodman describes his study abroad experience in Jordan as a dismantling of the stereotypes and history he had heard before, but also as empowering in prompting a reframing of what his Jewish identity can signify. He explains how his conversations in Jordan led to his senior thesis that examined imperialism and orientalism through queer culture and culminated in a performance as well. Goodman then talks about his Jewish life and activism post-graduation and his response to the 2018 doxxing of Nazis at Davidson College.
