The Department of Theology at Fordham University and Dorushe invite proposals for the Eighth Dorushe Graduate Student Conference on Syriac Studies, to be held at Fordham University (NYC) on June 9-10, 2022.
We welcome graduate student proposals for papers in all subjects, disciplines, and methodologies related to Syriac studies. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to):
- Early Syriac Christian Origins
- Peshitta Studies; Syriac Theology and Christology
- Jews, Muslims, and Syriac Christians
- Early Syriac Encounters with the Far East
- Syriac Liturgical Tradition and Hymnography
- Syrian Ascetics and Martyrs
- Women in Syriac Christianity
- Syriac Iconography and Visual Culture
- Syriac Studies and Digital Scholarship
To promote and diversify interaction at the conference, we invite proposals in two different categories:
- 20-minute conference papers and
- 8- to 15-page dissertation interim reports. Dissertation interim reports will be circulated in advance to facilitate discussion at the conference, and should introduce, at minimum, the project’s argument, method, and primary source material.
