2012 Enoch Graduate Seminar

2012 ENOCH GRADUATE SEMINAR: This just in from Gabriele Boccaccini.

The fourth meeting of the Enoch Graduate Seminar will be held June 18-20, 2012 on the campus of the University of Notre Dame, chaired by Prof. James C. VanderKam. The sessions will begin at noon on Monday, June 18 and will conclude at noon on Wednesday, June 20. Graduate or Post-Doc students working in the general area of Second Temple Judaism and Christian Origins who wish to present a paper at the seminar should submit an abstract (no more than one page) clearly stating the shape of the argument and the conclusion. The abstract should be sent to the secretary of the Conference, Isaac Oliver , no later than December 15, 2011.

Around 15 papers will be selected and presented at the Seminar. Papers in their final form must be completed by May 15, 2012. They will circulate in advance among the participants and will be only briefly introduced (5 minutes) by the author at the conference, where one hour will be devoted to the discussion of each paper, with all participants acting as respondents. The best papers will be selected for publication in the journal Henoch.

Previous meetings of the Enoch Graduate Seminar were held at the University of Michigan (2006), Princeton Theological Seminary / Princeton University (2008), and the Catholic University of Budapest (2010).
