CALL FOR PAPERS

17th Contact Day Jewish Studies on the Low Countries
Institute of Jewish Studies - University of Antwerp
Thursday 8 May 2025

The Institute of Jewish Studies organises for the seventeenth time an interdisciplinary conference at the University of Antwerp concerning Jewish Studies on the Low Countries. The purpose of the conference is to facilitate contacts between researchers working within this area of study. We especially encourage young researchers to participate in the workshop. We also hope for contributions from more established researchers, in order to create a positive exchange between different research generations. We particularly invite papers and/or sessions that are explicitly comparative in character, and welcome themes and disciplines within Jewish Studies concerning the Low Countries. Proposals need not be limited to a specific historical period and presentations may include work in progress. Both individual and panel proposals are possible. The conference language is English. Please note that the conference organisers cannot provide financial support to cover travel and accommodation of presenters or participants.

Please submit an abstract of maximally 400 words and a short CV by 15 December 2024.
