Former Milwaukeean Jack Nusan Porter, Ph.D., recently has been accepted as a research associate at Harvard University’s Davis Center for Russian Studies, according to an email Porter sent to The Chronicle.
His research has focused on comparative resistance to genocide, sex and gender issues during the Holocaust, and the role of the Jewish partisans. His latest book is “Jewish Partisans of the Soviet Union during World War II.”
Porter will be traveling to Moscow and other parts of Europe to promote the book, culminating in a paper to be given at the Ninth International Conference of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, where Porter was a former treasurer. The paper compares instances of Armenian and Jewish resistance to genocide.
Porter was a former research associate in Ukrainian studies at Harvard and has published numerous books and articles on these subjects. He presently resides in Newton, Mass. His website is www.drjackporter.com.
