Seminars and conferences
Forum for Jewish Studies (FJS) regularly organizes seminars, lectures and workshops with both Swedish and international scholars. International speakers usually participate at our seminars as part of our collaborations with Paideia - The European Institute for Jewish Studies. FJS usually organizes between six and eight seminars / lectures per semester. In addition, an annual workshop is arranged for doctoral students at Swedish universities in the field of Jewish studies. We offer the possibility to present texts and applications for funds within FJS's area of activity at FJS 'seminars. The seminars are often organized together with other departments within Uppsala University and are held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays (which is most common) or Thursdays 15.15–17.00 or (less commonly) 13.15-15.00.
Forum for Jewish Studies also organizes conferences. To date two major international conferences have been held: “Deutschsprachige jüdische Emigration nach Schweden,” together with Moses Mendelsohn Zentrum in Potsdam, and “Children of Abraham: Jewish and Islamic Studies in an Academic Setting” (2019). In addition, FJS regularly participates as a co-organizer of conferences organized by other institutions at Uppsala University and different collaboration partners.
