* * * Deadline for submission of proposals: May 1, 2000 * * *

The twelfth annual conference of the Midwest Jewish Studies Association will be held September 17-18, 2000 at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. All interested scholars and professionals of Jewish Studies, including advanced graduate students, are cordially invited to submit proposals for papers/presentations/workshops. The conference welcomes proposals in all areas of Jewish Studies: from any discipline (history, philosophy, literature, religion, sociology, music, etc.) and from any time period (ancient to contemporary). The MJSA encourages panelists to address pedagogical aspects of their topics, and papers centered on pedagogical issues are most welcome. Proposals may be for complete sessions or for individual papers. Individuals willing to chair a session (rather than give a paper) are invited to submit a curriculum vitae, with an indication of areas of expertise. The deadline for submission of proposals is May 1, 2000. Send two copies of a one-page abstract, including an e-mail address to:

If proposing a complete session, please send all abstracts together.

Further information about the conference is available from Dean Bell at the address above, or from the local host, Steve Weiland, Director of the Jewish Studies Program at MSU, (517) 432-3493 or weiland@msu.edu
