TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON JEWISH STUDIES
we are pleased to inform you that the arrangements for the Twenty-Sixth Annual International Conference on Jewish Studies, which will be held in Moscow on July 14-16, 2019, has begun. We have changed the traditional time of the conference as we got numerous requests of our foreign colleagues, due to the mismatch of our university schedules. In addition, climatic conditions in Moscow are more favorable in summer than in winter. In the future, we plan to alternate winter and summer conferences, keeping a new frequency of the conference – once a year and a half. We hope that these changes will favorably influence the conference program and will help attract new researchers in the field of Jewish Studies from different countries.
The conference programme will include sections reflecting the traditional areas of Jewish studies (Biblical and Talmudic Studies, Jewish Thought, Jewish History, Judeo-Christian Relations, the Holocaust, Israeli Studies, Languages and Literature, Art, Ethnology, Demography, Jewish Genealogy, Museums and Archives, etc.). We also welcome topics that require interdisciplinary approaches.
Talks of graduate students and young researchers will be included in the youth panels of the conference with the participation of discussants invited specifically for this event.
Presentation of scientific papers on Judaica published last year will also take place. This section is usually of great interest. If you wish to submit new published works, please contact us so we will include it in the program.
