X-post: H-ANNOUNCE
We invite abstracts of 250 words from postgraduate students in any aspect of Jewish Studies.
The field of Jewish Studies has expanded dramatically in the last fifty years.
Numerous university departments, and other centres and institutes, offer Jewish Studies in a variety of forms. There are over 100 of these in Western Europe, more than 50 in the former Soviet Union, some in Asia and South America, large numbers in North America and an enormous concentration of resources in Israel.
What is missing are strong lines of communication and information between them. In particular, students have little means of linking up with the wider world of Jewish Studies beyond their own academic institution or country. The conference aims to break through this barrier.
We invite all postgraduates to participate in this major international conference, organised by students for students. Advanced undergraduates may also be considered.
Anyone who wishes may submit for consideration an abstract of up to 250 words for a 20-minute presentation. Your paper should either be based on original research or a historiographical overview of your area of specialisation.
