Postgraduate Forum in Jewish Studies

Online conference. Dr Katharina Keim is organising the first Nordic Postgraduate Forum in Jewish Studies. It will take place over two half-days on 22-23 September 2020. Papers will be presented by six current doctoral students from around the Nordic region working on projects that relate to the study of ancient and medieval Jewish history. Each paper will be presented in brief followed by comments from a respondent and general discussion. The programme also features a masterclass in reading Talmudic texts by Prof Philip Alexander (FBA, Emeritus Manchester) entitled, ‘“If they are not prophets, they are sons of prophets”: Tosefta Pesahim 4:13-14 and its reception in the Yerushalmi and the Bavli.’ The event will take place via zoom, and all are welcome.
