CALL FOR PAPERS & pANEL PROPOSALS

29th Annual Jewish American and Holocaust Literature (JAHLit) Symposium
Meeting 27-29 October 2024
The Betsy Hotel, Miami Beach

The JAHLit Symposium organizing committee welcomes individual and panel proposals that address the subjects of Jewish, Jewish-American, and Holocaust literature and culture. We are especially interested in critical and theoretical approaches to Jewish literature and film but these subjects are intended to be broadly conceived and could include:

  • New voices in Jewish American literature

  • Transnational Jewish literature

  • Jewish literature of the Americas

  • Holocaust literature

  • The Holocaust in film and television

  • New media including graphic novels and digital media

Early-career colleagues are especially encouraged to propose panels on topics in their research areas.

Individual paper proposals should be no longer than one double-spaced typed page and should be submitted with a short CV that contains contact information.

Organizers of complete panels should submit a cover sheet with the title of the panel, a brief description of the panel theme, the titles of each of the papers, and contact information for each presenter. The cover sheet should be followed by the three individual paper proposals and brief CVs. The organizer will serve as chair of the panel. No respondent is necessary.

The symposium will be in person only. Only individuals able to attend in person should submit proposals. Panel organizers should verify that each proposed panelist is able to attend in person.

Proposals should be emailed to Adam Goldwyn (adam.goldwyn@ndsu.edu). The deadline for submission of proposals is July 31, 2024.

Be sure to pay the registration fee of $175 online when you submit your proposal (non-US residents can pay on site).

The conference will begin Sunday evening and conclude Tuesday evening.
