2006 Biennial Scholars' Conference On American Jewish History
June 5-7, 2006, Charleston, South Carolina. Conference Registration and Accommodations.
The 2006 Biennial Scholars' Conference on American Jewish History, sponsored by the American Jewish Historical Society, the American Jewish Archives and the College of Charleston, will convene in Charleston, South Carolina, June 5-7, 2006.
The Program Committee invites proposals for panels and individual presentations on any aspect of the American Jewish experience. Especially welcome are multi-media expositions and reports on works-in-progress. Scholars and graduate students whose research focuses on a specific area of the Americas, including South America and the Caribbean, are encouraged to consider the significance of regionalism for Jewish life. While regional identity will be the subject of a plenary session, we anticipate that the conference will cover a broad range of themes and topics.
Panelists will be asked to submit their essays by May 1, to be posted on the conference website. Sessions will be organized as symposia, or guided discussions. Each participant is invited to present a ten-minute abstract of the paper, and the remainder of the time will be devoted to conversation and debate led by the session chair.
The 2006 Scholars' Conference coincides with the Spoleto Arts Festival, one of the country's premier celebrations of the performing and visual arts. For participants who arrive on Sunday, June 4, we will offer pre-conference field trips and cultural events.
