British and Irish Association for Jewish Studies Annual Conference

Electronic versions

Description

Given both long-standing and recent debates about feminism, identity, equality, trans rights, women’s religious and political leadership, Queer representation, and reproductive rights, the 2024 British and Irish Association for Jewish Studies annual conference will focus on questions of gender and sexuality. The BIAJS conference, as always, spans many academic fields, and approaches to the topic can be wide-ranging—from an analysis of the Talmud’s engagement with gender and sexual diversity, to an archaeological study of ancient female figurines, to a history of businesswomen in medieval Europe, to a literary reading of Naomi Alderman’s novel The Power. In fact, the conference invites scholars to think within and across disciplines and to forge new connections that allow us to reimagine gender and sexuality within the Jewish world, Jewish Studies, and beyond.
