Requirements for Participation

Sociological and Anthropological Approaches to the Study of the Evidence of the Mishnah (EABS)


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Papers are invited that consider the sociological and anthropological treatment of the evidence of the Mishnah—its value and limitations, on its own and in conjunction with other evidence, literary or material—that address any of the following themes: • the better understanding of social and cultural patterns of contemporary Palestinian Judaism and Jewish society; • the reconstruction of major aspects of the sociology and culture of the early rabbinic movement itself; • the better understanding of the sociology and culture of the “world” defined by and in Mishnah’s substance, even if that world does not mirror any contemporary, historical Palestinian Jewish world. Each participant will have a maximum of 25 minutes to present, followed by a minimum of 5 minutes of discussion. It is intended that one or more edited volumes of published papers will result from the three-years of sessions, subject to appropriate peer review.
