ASR Book Discussion: Tahseen Shams’ “Here, There, and Elsewhere : The Making of Immigrant Identities in a Globalizing World”

Join us for a discussion of Tahseen Shams’ award-winning book, Here, There, and Elsewhere: The Making of Immigrant Identities in a Globalizing World (Stanford, 2020).

Contemporary Jewry CFP: Analysis and Reflection on the Social Scientific Study of Jewry: The State of our Field and Suggestions for its Future

The active exchange of reflection and introspection this summer among members of ASSJ, the Association of the Social Scientific Study of Jewry—and beyond–began an important process that Contemporary Jewry would like to continue in a special forum focused on our—broadly defined—field of social science research. Contemporary Jewry invites scholarly analysis of our field, both within and outside of the academy, including (but not limited to) analytical arguments about:
