CFP: AJS Panel on Critical Engagement with Israel

Following up on the important work of Dov Waxman, the papers in this panel examine specific elements of Jewish American critical engagement with Israel and the impacts that it has on Jewish identity and changing relationships with the State of Israel.
Jewish-Muslim Research Network and reading group
Dear colleagues,
I am writing to share news of the launch of a research network based in Manchester, UK. The Jewish-Muslim Research Network (JMRN) is an cross-disciplinary initiative bringing together researchers studying Jews, Muslims, Judaism, Islam and the links and interactions between them, across historical and geographical contexts. By taking a broad definition of the above terms, JMRN hopes to facilitate productive discussion between scholars who otherwise might not come into contact.
