Holocaust Studies Conference: Deadline Extended
HOLOCAUST STUDIES CONFERENCE
At Middle Tennessee State University
March 6-7, 2025
Murfreesboro, Tennessee
Keynote Speaker: Professor Daniel Magilow, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
Examining Holocaust Studies in our World Today aims to foster discussion on the state of the field and where it might be going in the years to come. We welcome papers focused on new methodologies, research techniques, and digital resources, as well as subject areas that have been less frequently investigated. Beyond these questions, we hope to discuss how research in Holocaust studies has responded to current events such as October 7 and the war in Gaza, incidents of antisemitism worldwide, and the war in Ukraine. In addition to papers on our theme, we encourage submissions from a wide variety of diverse disciplines on all Holocaust-related topics. Submissions especially welcome on visual culture, antisemitism, comparative genocide studies, and teaching the Holocaust.
We invite individual paper and panel proposals by academics, advanced graduate students, and independent scholars from all disciplines.
TO APPLY: Please send a single document (Word or PDF) containing an individual paper, panel, or roundtable proposal (200 words per paper) with a C.V. (1-2 pages) to hologen.conference@mtsu.edu. Panels should consist of 3 presenters (3-5 for a roundtable) and a moderator. Panel and roundtable proposals need a panel title, proposal for each paper, and C.V. for each participant.
You can direct any questions you have to this address: hologen.conference@mtsu.edu.
The NEW deadline for submissions is November 20, 2024. Notifications will be sent out by December 1, 2024. The conference is unable to provide funding support, but there will be available transportation to and from BNA airport during designated times. We also have the opportunity to waive registration fees for graduate students and those who demonstrate financial need.
