Dina Danon is Associate Professor of Jewish History and Undergraduate Director of Judaic Studies at Binghamton University. Danon鈥檚 research focuses on the eastern Sephardi diaspora during modern times and draws heavily on previously unexplored Ladino language archival material. Danon is particularly interested in social history and how its tools help revise prevailing scholarship not only on the Sephardi world but on Jewish modernity as a whole. Capturing the voices of both destitute beggars and lay oligarchs, peddlers and guildsmen, housewives and rabbis, her first book, The Jews of Ottoman Izmir: A Modern History (Stanford University Press, 2020) was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award in Sephardic Culture. Danon鈥檚 co-edited a volume, Longing and Belonging: Jews in the Modern Islamic World (Pennsylvania University Press, 2025), explores the marketplace of matchmaking, marriage, and divorce in the modern Ottoman Sephardi world.
