Call for Papers

We invite papers addressing the themes of the 2025 On the Edge Symposium: Teaching Israel/Palestine in Turbulent Times. To be considered for participation, please use this form to submit your paper abstract, personal details, and other requested materials.

Papers will be selected for their scholarly promise and quality, innovative pedagogical approaches, and complementarity with other papers in the symposium. Proposals should include a 250-word abstract, a 250–500-word statement about the paper’s relationship to the scholar’s research agenda or teaching practice, and a current CV. Final papers should be of such a length that they can be presented or summarized in 20 minutes. Inquiries should be addressed to CSRCS Director Brian K. Pennington at bpennington4@elon.edu.
