International Academic Conference on Holocaust Research

University of Toronto; October 6-7, 2013

Organized by the Chancellor Rose and Ray Wolfe Chair of Holocaust Studies and the Centre for Jewish Studies at the University of Toronto, and the Government of Canada, this international academic conference will showcase and consider new Holocaust-related research by new scholars in the field.

By ‘new scholars’ the organizers have in mind advanced doctoral candidates and those who have received doctoral degrees within the past decade or so, but we will interpret these parameters flexibly.

New scholarship might include: comparative studies; topics that draw upon recently released sources; gender, economic and religious and cultural aspects of the Holocaust; local studies that impact wider interpretations; contributions of media and literature to an understanding of the Holocaust; and other innovative and/or interdisciplinary topics.

This conference is coinciding with the meeting of the Task Force for International Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research.

You are invited to send a proposal before April 30, 2013.
