The University of Lille and the University of Frankfurt launched in 2022 a new international research program on “Jewish Thought between Germany and France”, led by Elad Lapidot and Christian Wiese. The project aims at developing research and exchange on transnational movements of ideas that have been constitutive for the continuity of Jewish thought in Europe before and after the Holocaust and for its development up to the present time. Examining the work and life of key figures in Jewish intellectual life in Germany and France, the project seeks to study how German-French intellectual exchanges shaped Jewish thought in Europe and beyond. More specifically, the project will examine the role of the multi-hyphenated German-French-Jewish thought in developing conceptions for interculturality, diversity and pluralism in view of challenges faced by Jewish as well as non-Jewish communities in Europe.
This one-day graduate workshop brings together a group of doctoral students that have been working on their respective research projects in association with the Lille-Frankfurt collaborative research program, together with senior scholars that are associated with the research program. In the course of this workshop, each student will present their work or a specific part of it, on which they are currently working. The presentations will be then discussed with the other students and with the senior scholars in attendance.
The goal of this workshop is to advance the individual projects and reinforce the collaboration within the research group, as well as to enhance the exchange between younger and senior researchers.
