Sign up for what will be an excellent conference with lots of papers on Medieval Jewish life with a keynote by Miri Rubin! Organised by @medievaljews.bsky.social Natasha Jenman and Naomi Reiter @qmul.bsky.social @ochjs.bsky.social
08.12.2025 10:12 β π 6 π 2 π¬ 0 π 0We hope so! Given that the conference is organised by three historians of medieval Jewry, it was super important to us that Jews be well represented but also that they appear in conversation with the world(s) that they inhabited!

It's going to be epic! Happy to add 'Josh's Epic Poster' to the programme, if you like.

By my count, there'll be four conferences this academic year exploring some aspect of the topic. Perhaps we should brainstorm it at Borders, Boundaries, and Barriers: 'Why borders? Why now?' Inexplicable!
