German-Jewish Studies Workshop 2013

It is our pleasure to announce that the Third Biennial Duke Workshop in German Jewish Studies will take place from Sunday, February 10, 2013 until Tuesday, February 12, 2013 in Durham, NC at the King's Daughters Inn (near the Duke East Campus) and in part on campus.

 

We welcome two kinds of proposals:

 

1) A 10 minute research briefing on your most recent work in the area of German Jewish Studies. Designed to start conversation early in the project and receive input and commentary.

 

2) A 15-20 minute "conference" talk that would ideally be presented extemporaneously rather than read. We want to maximize communication, relaxed interaction, and the opportunity for the exchange of ideas. 

 

Contributions in the area of undergraduate programming, pedagogy, archive resources, and community affairs are welcome.

 

In addition we will have keynote and plenary speakers, a special Dreyfus Affair exhibit viewing (in collaboration with the Moses Mendelssohn Center at the University of Potsdam, Duke University Libraries, and Duke Jewish Studies).

 

As in the past, we welcome submissions from advanced graduate students (those at the dissertation stage), and will reserve about five slots for them. These applications require endorsement  by the dissertation director, who ideally would attend the conference.

 

Please send your proposals (not more than 400 words) to our managing editor, Mr. Steffen Kaupp, at steffen.kaupp@duke.edu

 

We can accommodate 35-40 participants and will begin accepting submissions on a rolling basis beginning November 15 (though you are welcome and encouraged to submit today!). 

 

Participants are expected to stay the entire workshop and receive:
