Dear Colleagues,

The Jewish Studies Workshop is now accepting submissions for presentations during the upcoming academic year 2022-2023. 

Our workshop provides an interdisciplinary forum for open discourse and critical reflection on student and faculty work in progress. We welcome submissions from graduate students, faculty, and postdoctoral fellows 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, as are non-traditional academic projects such as translations. In the upcoming year, our workshop is planning to meet on Mondays, but we will meet at different times to accommodate virtual presenters from different time zones.

The deadline for proposals to present in the upcoming year is Thursday, September 1st. The proposals should include a title, abstract (max. 200 words), desired quarter or time of year to present, and an idea of who may serve as a respondent. This material can be sent via email to the workshop coordinators Stephanie Kraver (skraver@uchicago.edu) and Elena Hoffenberg (ehoffenberg@uchicago.edu).

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions, thoughts or suggestions regarding the workshop. 

Best regards,

Stephanie & Elena
