Creighton University's Klutznick Chair in Jewish Civilization and Center
for the Study of Religion and Society will host the Ninth Annual Klutznick
Symposium to take place in Omaha, Nebraska on Sunday, October 27 and
Monday, October 28, 1996.  The theme of the Symposium will be Yiddish
Language and Culture: Then and Now.
 
The Program Committee seeks proposals for presentations on Yiddish
language and culture, past and present. It is interested in receiving proposals
on topics related to Yiddish as a language, and Yiddish culture, including
music, fiction, poetry, humor, and theater. At this point the committee is
particularly interested in receiving proposals of a historical nature.
 
Those chosen to participate in the symposium will be expected to submit
their papers in a scholarly format; those papers will be published in a
collected volume. Participants will also be expected to make twenty minute
presentations of the essential elements of their papers in a manner suitable to
an audience composed of the general public and scholars. Please note that the
reading of papers as submitted for publication would not be appropriate to
this audience. Audio/visual aids are encouraged.
 
Subsidies for the presenter's costs of transportation and accommodation will
be provided.
