Jews, Military Service and Collective Belonging From Antiquity to the Present. One of the most promising subjects of interdisciplinary study is the relationship betwwen military service and belonging. By appealing to a history of wartime sacrifice, minority groups (ethnicities, women, etc.) can affirm their membership in the collectivity. This conference investigates the subject from the perspective of Jewish communities. It treats three millennia of history, from the first attestations in the Neo-Assyrian and Achaemenid Empires to the modern nation-state. Hosts: Jacob L. Wright, Emory University and Derek Penslar, University of Toronto.
