Subject: Yiddish & Ashkenazic Studies Conference
Call for Papers
The Yiddish and Ashkenazic Studies Program of the Department of Germanic
Languages and Literatures at The Ohio State University, and the YIVO
Institute for Jewish Research announce a conference in Yiddish and
Ashkenazic Studies to be held November 6-7, 2005 (Sunday-Monday), at Ohio
State.
The title of the conference is: "Looking Backward--Looking Forward: A
Conference Commemorating the Centenary of the Birth of Dr. Shlomo Noble."
Dr. Noble was a long-time research scholar at the YIVO and a teacher to
many scholars currently active in the field. Dr. Noble's Ph.D.
dissertation ("The Survival of Middle High German and Early New High
German Words in Current Judeo-German Translations of the Bible") was
completed in the then-named Department of German at The Ohio State
University in 1939, under Prof. Hans Sperber.
Abstracts are solicited in all areas of Yiddish and Ashkenazic Studies.
Papers focusing on the continuing relevance of the work of the generation
of the founders of modern Yiddish and Ashkenazic Studies to current and
future work in the field are particularly welcome. Conference
presentations will be 30 minutes in length, with additional time for
discussion. Abstracts should not exceed 500 words and should include (at
the top): name(s) of author(s), affiliation, contact information (e-mail
and telephone), and title of the paper, and(below): a repeat of the title
of the paper, followed by the body of the abstract. Please submit your
abstract as regular e-mail (not as an attachment) by May 15, 2005, to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Questions may also be sent to the above e-mail address, or to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
We look forward to receiving your abstract, and to an exciting conference in
