On November 30, 2023, 5 p.m. we will be celebrating the official opening of our Research Training Group in the Grand Hall (Alte Aula) of Heidelberg University.
We are delighted that we were able to win Derek J. Penslar (Harvard University) for the keynote speech. He will deliver a lecture entitled “BETWEEN AMITY AND ENMITY: JEWISH AND ARAB MUTUAL PERCEPTIONS IN THE 20TH CENTURY”
Derek J. Penslar is William Lee Frost Professor of Jewish History at Harvard University. He is known for his comparative and transnational approaches. He is currently working on a book on the worldwide reactions to the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
The jazz pianist Dan Popek will provide the musical programme.
Registration with registration(at)hfjs.eu is required.
