Colloquium on Jewish History in the summer semester 2025
Tuesday, 16:00 - 17:30, 08.024.2025 - 15.07.2025
Martin Buber Institute, 1st floor in room 1.05
The aim is to look at Jewish history from a transnational perspective - in other words, not just in the context of a particular country, in the sense of German-Jewish or French-Jewish history. The lectures will be developed around the presentation and interpretation of one (or more) primary source(s); the text of the primary source(s) will be made available to the seminar participants in advance in preparation for the joint discussion. Participation in the international conference on ‘Jewish History and History of Emotions’ at the Martin Buber Institute, 16-17 June, is encouraged.
