Bund and Borders: German Jewish thinking between Faith and Power

Workshops

Idea of the workshops

Since we expect a number of PhD students, we offer workshops where a single conference paper will be discussed with a scholar in a more seminar style setting. You might participate in no, one, or two workshops.
