We are pleased to announce that the Jewish Studies Program at Cornell University is seeking papers for its inaugural graduate student conference, MAKING SPACE: Peopling and Placing the Matter of Jewish Studies. This graduate-organized conference aims to bring together student research that contributes to interdisciplinary approaches to Jewish studies through the “making of space for new ways of addressing history and giving voice to marginalized and minoritized identities and experiences”. Relevant topics and subfields include critical historiography, ethnography, cultural geography, media studies, material culture studies, and gender and feminist studies. The Call for Papers is available online.
The event will be held in-person on our campus in Ithaca, New York on April 15-16, 2024, with lodging provided for accepted speakers. Remote participation is also welcome for those who are abroad or unable to attend in person.
The deadline to submit proposals is December 15, 2023. Instructions for abstract submissions are located in the call for papers and online. Please feel free to contact us with any questions at jewishstudies@cornell.edu. We look forward to receiving submissions for this exciting conference!
