Call for Papers, 2019-20

Dear Colleagues,

The Jewish Studies Workshop invites UC graduate students and faculty to present papers during the upcoming academic year of 2019-20. Our workshop provides an interdisciplinary forum for vibrant discourse and critical reflection on student and faculty work in progress. We welcome submissions from graduate students and faculty at all stages of their studies, in all departments, fields, periods, and disciplines that pertain to Jews, Jewishness, and Judaism. Drafts of dissertation proposals, chapters, seminar papers, journal articles, and conference papers are all welcome. Our workshop meets on Tuesdays from 5:00-6:30 PM in Swift 200.

The deadline for proposals for the Autumn 2019 quarter is September 15th. Please email a title and abstract of max. 200 words to workshop coordinators Sam Catlin (scatlin@uchicago.edu) and Mendel Kranz (mkranz@uchicago.edu). We have one opening slot in the Autumn, and we are also now accepting submissions to present in the Winter 2020 quarter, so please don’t hesitate to submit! Our schedule for the Autumn 2019 quarter is already quite full of exciting conferences, papers, and talks, and we’ll post our calendar soon.

Looking forward, Sam + Mendel
