EAJS Virtual 2024
The European Association for Jewish Studies is introducing a new format of a full-day online conference. This new format will be dedicated to the exploration of themes which are relevant to EAJS members from across the disciplines constituting Jewish Studies, and with different regional or chronological expertise.
For 2024, it invites expressions of interest to host and curate such a conference around one of the following themes:
- Translation
- Community and Memory
- Jewish-non-Jewish relations
- Jewish Literature and Cultural Change
- Violence
- Jewish Social and Economic Histories
- Visuality in Jewish Civilization
EAJS Virtual 2024 would ideally be hosted by a Jewish Studies programme, department, or research centre, or by a small team of scholars, and take place before 31 December 2024. A proposal should include
- a short description of the hosting institution or team
- a preliminary draft of the call of paper
- a timeline for the proposed conference
The EAJS offers a contribution of up to £5,000 to the expenses incurred in the preparation and management of the online full-day conference. These could include costs for staff, for public relations, technical equipment or software, and honoraria for keynote speakers.
Eligibility: At least two paid-up Full Members should be among the hosts of the conference. Except for invited keynote speakers, participants should be Full, Associate, or Student Members of the EAJS..
An expression of interest should identify the hosting institution/team, the lead theme for the event, as well as a tentative budget. It should be sent to admin@eurojewishstudies.org before 31 March 2024, 5 pm (UK time)
