Calls for papers
Selected calls for papers and fellowship opportunities will be listed periodically in the Academia
section of the website.
While making an effort to list the main
opportunities in Italian
and Jewish studies, we also try to map out an
interdisciplinary landscape for scholars in other research fields.
We are grateful to the scholars who contributed to this initial listing and look forward to receiving more recommendations.
Feel free to circulate this information among your colleagues and students. Thank you.
