CfP: Contesting Jewish Loyalties: The First World War and Beyond

Jewish Museum Berlin, 15-17 December, 2016

International conference organized by:
The Centre for German-Jewish Studies, University of Sussex
The Centre for Research on Antisemitism, TU Berlin
The Institute for the History of the German Jews, Hamburg
The Pears Institute for the study of Antisemitism, University of London
Jewish Museum Berlin

The aim of this conference is to explore the multifaceted question of Jewish loyalties. Starting from the Dreyfus affair, we seek papers that consider the degree to which individual Jews and Jewish communities in Europe, the US and elsewhere engaged with the question of loyalty before, during and after the First World War, in a broad interdisciplinary and transnational context. Papers showing comparative elements in analysing questions of loyalty confronted by other national, religious or ethnic groups are particularly welcome.

Abstracts should be no more than 200 words and be submitted alongside a brief biography (including professional affiliation and contact details) by 26 February 2016.
