Applications are now open for the 8th International Conference “The Jewish Field: New Discoveries, Experience, and Conceptualization”
At the eighth annual conference, we once again invite participants to broaden the concept of the “Jewish field” and discuss new research in Jewish anthropology, folklore studies, linguistics, sociology, epigraphy, and archaeology, as well as the history and culture of Jews in Russia and the USSR, Jewish collections and archives, and related topics. We would particularly like to focus on historical memory and commemoration.
At the conclusion of the conference, participants will be able to present new collections of articles and monographs.
