In the Name of the Father? Writing Jewish Masculinities across the Middle East and North Africa

Venice, 28-29 October 2024

The workshop aims to advance the evolving terrain where scholarship on Jewish migration from the MENA region intersects with gender studies, specifically delving into the realm of masculinities. This exploration seeks to shed light on the nuanced experiences of MENA Jewish men during their migration journeys, contributing valuable insights to Jewish, migration and gender studies in the literature.
