The past few years have seen a growing recognition in the academic community of the need for intellectual forums which can be accessed irrespective of location or financial means. Our event will meet this demand, providing an online platform where postgraduate and early career researchers working on some aspect of Jewish life in Scandinavia can build connections and share research in a fruitful and encouraging environment. 

This year’s pilot will be completely live and online, comprising panels of 20-minute papers and discussion. We seek to bring together researchers from across departments and universities, to form a Fellesskap – a sense of fellowship – in our interdisciplinary field. To help participants meet and connect with one another, the event will offer plenty of opportunities for virtual socialising.

Keynote speakers: Prof Lily Kahn & Dr Riitta Valijärvi, UCL & Dr Jon Reitan, NTNU
