Autumn Schedule: University of Chicago Jewish Studies Workshop

The Jewish Studies Workshop is excited to share our schedule for the autumn quarter! Meetings will occur virtually from 5:30 – 7:00 pm CST on Mondays (**please note the slight change from the time previously announced; meetings will start at 5:30 pm instead of 5 pm).

Advanced copies of papers and Zoom links will be pre-circulated via the Jewish Studies Workshop listserv and made available on our website here. Additionally, if you are interested in presenting at the workshop in the winter or spring quarter or if you would like to be added to our listserv, please email us at barenstein@uchicago.edu or telem@uchicago.edu. We look forward to seeing you soon!
