To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests:

1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance.
2. Send material as plain text to victor.bers at yale.edu as plain text (no
HTML, other  coding, or attachments) and write MENDELE PERSONALS in the
subject line.
3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted

Western Jewish Studies Association Conference
Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas
March 11-12, 2018

Call for paper and panel proposals on all areas of Jewish Studies
regardless of discipline, geographical focus, or time period.

The WJSA usually includes panels about Jews in the American West,
pedagogical aspects of Jewish Studies, and contemporary Jewish issues. This
year, panels on Jews in Texas are welcome. Panels are also welcome marking
the anniversaries of Kristallnacht and Israeli Independence.

Paper proposals should be no longer than one double-spaced typed page and
should be submitted with a short CV that contains contact information. The
submission of panels on a common topic is encouraged. Organizers of panels
should submit a cover sheet with the title of the panel and the titles of
each of the papers and contact information for each presenter, followed by
the individual paper proposals and brief CVs. Scholars of Jewish Studies,
including advanced graduate students, are invited to submit proposals for
papers, presentations, and workshops. A limited number of modest travel
stipends are available for graduate students and overseas scholars who will
be presenting papers at the conference. Individuals wishing to chair a
session should submit their CV.

The WJSA annually confers the Baron Award for best graduate student paper
presented at the conference. The student will receive $200 and a lengthier
version of the paper will be considered for publication in Shofar: An
Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies.

Although there is no WSJA membership requirement for participation in the
conference, there is a higher registration fee charged for non-members.
Proposals should be emailed to Lawrence Baron at lbaron at mail.sdsu.edu.
Deadline for submission of proposals is November 1, 2017.
