The Canadian Society for Jewish Studies (CSJS / SCÉJ), founded in 2004, is an academic society for the study of Jewish cultures, practices, and thought in any part of the world and any time period, from any disciplinary perspective. Participants and members from anywhere in the world are welcome.

Paper proposals in all areas of Jewish Studies are invited for our annual conference. Approaches may be grounded in ethnography, history, textual study, hermeneutics, literary analysis, arts and culture, critical theory, rabbinics, or any other scholarly discipline. Papers may not have been published or presented elsewhere.

Proposals are due by Monday, February 16, 2026. More information available here.
