Marci Shore (born 1972) is an American professor of intellectual history at the University of Toronto, where she specializes in the history of literary and political engagement with Marxism and phenomenology.
Shore is the author of Caviar and Ashes: A Warsaw Generation's Life and Death in Marxism, 1918–1968, a milieu biography of Polish and Polish-Jewish writers drawn to Marxism in the twentieth century; and of The Taste of Ashes, a study of the presence of the communist and Nazi past in today's Eastern Europe. She translated Michał Głowiński's Holocaust memoir, The Black Seasons.
Shore was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in 1972. She is a 1990 graduate of William Allen High School in Allentown. She then attended Stanford University, receiving a B.A. in 1994.[1] Two years later, in 1996, she received an M.A. from the University of Toronto.[2] She received a doctorate from Stanford University in 2001.[2]
Shore was a postdoctoral fellow at the Harriman Institute at Columbia University, an assistant professor of history and Jewish studies at Indiana University; and the Jacob and Hilda Blaustein Visiting Assistant Professor of Judaic Studies at Yale University.[2] She has twice been a fellow of the Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen (Institute of Human Sciences) in Vienna. Until March 2025, Shore taught European cultural and intellectual history at Yale.[2]
In March 2025, shortly after the 2024 United States presidential election, Shore and her husband, Timothy Snyder, left their positions at Yale and another Yale faculty member, Jason Stanley, also departed, drawing national media attention during political criticism of universities.[3] The three academics published a video op-ed, "We Study Fascism, and We're Leaving the US", in The New York Times, explaining their decision to leave the United States.[4] Shore and her husband made this decision already before the 2024 elections.[5] The professors later took positions at the Munk School of Global Affairs of the University of Toronto.[6][7]
Her book, Caviar and Ashes: A Warsaw Generation's Life and Death in Marxism, 1918-1968, won eight awards and was shortlisted for several more. These include the following:[8]
Shore married Timothy D. Snyder, a professor of history now at the University of Toronto, in 2005. They have two children.[12][13][14]

Howard Leslie Shore (born October 18, 1946) is a Canadian composer, conductor, and orchestrator noted for his film scores. He has composed the scores for over 80 films, most notably the scores for Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film trilogies, both of which are based on the fantasy works by English author J. R. R. Tolkien. He is a consistent collaborator with director David Cronenberg, having scored all but one of his films since 1979, and collaborated with Martin Scorsese on six of his films. Shore has also composed concert works including one opera, The Fly, based on the plot of Cronenberg's 1986 film, a film he also scored, which premiered at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris on July 2, 2008; a short piece named Fanfare for the Wanamaker Organ and the Philadelphia Orchestra; and a short overture for the Swiss 21st Century Symphony Orchestra. Shore has also composed for television, including serving as the original musical director for the American sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live from 1975 to 1980. Shore won three Academy Awards for his work on The Lord of the Rings, with one being for the song "Into the West", an award he shared with Eurythmics lead vocalist Annie Lennox and writer/producer Fran Walsh, who wrote the lyrics. In addition to his three Oscars, he has also won three Golden Globe Awards, four Grammy Awards, three Genie Awards, and nine Canadian Screen Awards.
The Jersey Shore, commonly called the Shore by locals, is the coastal region of the U.S. state of New Jersey. The term encompasses about 141 miles (227 km) of oceanfront bordering the Atlantic Ocean, from Perth Amboy in the north to Cape May Point in the south. The region includes Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties, which are in the central and southern parts of the state. Located in the center of the Northeast Megalopolis, the northern half of the shore region is part of the New York metropolitan area, while the southern half of the shore region is part of the Philadelphia metropolitan area. The Jersey Shore hosts the highest concentration of oceanside boardwalks in the United States. Famous for its wide beaches, and many boardwalks featuring arcades, amusement parks, and water parks, the Jersey Shore is a popular vacation spot for residents of North Jersey, New York, Maryland, Delaware, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Certain shore communities are also popular with visitors from the Canadian province of Quebec. Due to New Jersey's peninsular geography, both sunrise and sunset are visible over water from different points on the Jersey Shore. The coastal waters of the Jersey Shore constitute one of the fastest-warming urban ocean shorelines in the world. In 2012, Hurricane Sandy devastated much of the northern part of the Jersey Shore, spawning the demolition and rebuilding of entire neighborhoods, with reinvention on a physically and financially elevated, and economically upscale level; this process of gentrification escalated property values and transformed communities on the Jersey Shore into a second home for the New York financial community, akin to the more established Gold Coast and Hamptons on Long Island.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
