I am posting this on behalf of Ellen Cassedy. Please direct all queries to Ms. Cassedy at the e-mail address below. ======================================================================================== Dear Friends, The Second Joint Conference of The Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies (AABS)<http://depts.washington.edu/aabs/> and The Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Study (SASS)<http://www.scandinavianstudy.org/site/>, to be held at Yale University on March 13-15, 2014, is pleased to solicit papers on Jewish Life and Culture. Proposals must be received by November 1, 2013. For full information, visit the Conference website here<http://www.yale.edu/macmillan/balticstudies/ybss/index.html>.
Scholars of Baltic, Scandinavian, and Jewish studies have traditionally worked in isolation from one another, yet connections are beginning to be forged. The Conference seeks to strengthen these connections and to foster dialogue regarding future scholarly collaboration. Proposals are welcome on these or any other relevant topics: * Jewish culture in the Baltic Sea region in any and all eras * intersections of Litvak and non-Jewish cultures in folk traditions, languages, arts, music, economic contact, education, etc. * comparisons of how various historic eras are remembered by scholars of Jewish studies and Scandinavian/Baltic studies. * economic history * Jewish religious, secular and political thought and activity * Jewish immigration to Scandinavia * the Nazi era and the Holocaust * the Soviet era * the post-Soviet era * models for teaching * the role of Jewish and non-Jewish diasporas * historiographies and narratives Questions may be directed to Ellen Cassedy, coordinator of the Jewish proposal stream, at el...@ellencassedy.com<mailto:el...@ellencassedy.com>. Please spread the word!
