JEWISH STUDIES COLLOQUIUM
Sponsored by The Tauber Institute for the Study of European Jewry and The Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies
This colloquium provides a critical forum for graduate students and faculty to present and discuss works-in-progress, thereby fostering an interdisciplinary intellectual community in all areas of Jewish studies. In each session participants will discuss a paper presented by faculty or graduate students from Brandeis and other institutions. The presenter will begin with a brief overview (5-10 minutes) of the work, and the rest of the session will be open to questions and answers.
Papers, not to exceed 30 pages, will be available two weeks in advance on-line at http://www.brandeis.edu/tauberinstitute (or at the Tauber Institute, Lown 306).
