| Abstract | In July 2006, a five-week NEH Summer Institute convened at the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies to investigate the topic 'Representations of the "Other": Jews in Medieval Christendom'. Ten of the participants, together with the Institute's Director, now seek to present the impact of their joint study on the handling of sources within their different disciplines. Each of the three proposed sessions incorporates scholars from multiple disciplines; each will have the Director of the Institute, Irven Resnick, as respondent. Our goal is to revive the intellectual exchange of the institute, to publicize to others our work on Jews in all aspects of medieval life and art, and to invite fellow scholars to join us in critical dialogue on the topic. |
