We are pleased to share this Call for Papers for a two-day conference on ‘Jewish Urban Landscapes in Mid-20th Century Europe‘ organized in cooperation with the University of Amsterdam and the Workshop on the Study of the Jews in Greece, to be held in Athens on 4-5 February 2025. The conference, with keynote lectures by Professor Michael Meng (Clemson University) and Professor Bart Wallet (University of Amsterdam), aims to shed light on what happened to Jewish sites and quarters in urban environments throughout the whole of Europe between 1930 and 1970, facilitating a knowledge exchange between scholars researching case studies across borders. We anticipate a peer-reviewed publication featuring revised and expanded versions of several papers presented at the conference.

You can find the full Call for Papers here.

Those wishing to apply should send one PDF file with 1) an abstract of no more than 400 words and 2) a bio of no more than 200 words (indicating academic affiliation and field of research) to Dr Sietske van der Veen by 23 September 2024 at the latest.
