Established only in April 2017, our Jewish Studies Research Group is a new addition to already diverse research projects and divisions at Gdansk University. We hope to communicate our interests and current activities within an informal, lively, and concise formula of a blog. Danciger Bleter’s name vaguely references a variety of small publications in Yiddish in the interwar period.

Our main concern is to establish the possibility of exchanging ideas between the members of our team and other researchers. We highly appreciate open-mindedness and commitment in solving research problems ,such as: language delay in pre-primary and primary grade children; reading and writing difficulties, as well as  vocabulary gap in schoolchildren; problems of bilingual SLT.
