CALL FOR PAPERS

Heroines of the Holocaust: Frameworks of Resistance

Wagner College Holocaust Center

June 2-3, 2021

“Nobody taught us how to fight or to perform our duties. We learned by ourselves not only how to clean and use a gun, but how to conduct ourselves in combat and battle, how to blow up a bridge or a train, how to cut communication lines and how to stand on guard.”

—Sara Ginaite, partisan, March 8, 1944 (International Woman’s Day)

New British Jewish Web Platform

With the intention of creating new conversations and opportunities to publish in the UK Jewish media to promote books and other creative work or to respond to an issue currently exists, we are looking to set up a new an online public-facing *nonacademic* forum, for academics, intellectuals, creatives, and others to disseminate their work more widely, contribute to contemporary debates, respond to issues in a timely fashion, and maybe it could become a news service.

Erasures and Eradications in Viennese Modernism (CFP—Edited Volume)

For nearly two millennia, Christian views of Jews and Judaism were almost exclusively critical and even hostile. In the first four centuries of the Common Era, Christians increasingly defined themselves in opposition to Jews. This antipathy was manifest in an extensive range of polemical literature whose main arguments became entwined with formative Christian self-understanding.

Throughout the past fifteen years, the research field of Israel Studies has expanded far beyond its established geographic base in Israel and North America, thereby creating a vibrant and increasingly diverse community of scholars who specialize in the study of Zionism and Israel.
