Eastern European Scholar Travel Grants The Association for Jewish Studies is pleased to announce the Eastern European Scholar Travel Grant Fund. This fund will underwrite travel expenses for a limited number of Jewish studies scholars from Eastern Europe to participate in the AJS’s 40th Annual Conference, December 21-23, 2008 in Washington, D.C. The Association for Jewish Studies Conference is the largest annual gathering of Jewish studies scholars from around the world, drawing over 1000 attendees and featuring more than 140 sessions on all fields of Jewish studies. Grant recipients must be full-time professors or scholars at an Eastern European university or research institute, whose scholarship focuses on an area of Jewish studies. In addition to presenting a scholarly paper, grant recipients will also be asked to participate in a panel on the state of Jewish studies in Eastern Europe. The purpose of this panel is to foster dialogue about the needs and goals of Jewish studies programs in Eastern Europe, and the ways in which the academic community in North America, Israel, and Western Europe may assist Eastern European scholars and institutions in these efforts. Application deadline: May 1, 2008. For further information, please email the AJS office at ajs@ajs.cjh.org. |
