7th Annual ucLADINO Judeo-Spanish Symposium: New Directions, Old Roots 
March 14-15, 2018
Los Angeles, California

Now in its seventh consecutive year, the ucLADINO annual symposium is the country’s foremost space for students, scholars, and community members to connect and share original research from a variety of linguistic, literary, cultural, sociological, anthropological, and historical fields related to Judeo-Spanish and Sephardic Jewry. 

This year the symposium will engage with the various types of “new directions” that the study of Judeo-Spanish has taken, as well as explore the new pathways the language and culture have taken over its varied history. As for “old roots,” the symposium will also feature discussion on the formative, little known, or under-analyzed historical and linguistic features of Judeo-Spanish. By juxtaposing new directions with “old roots,” the symposium aims to hone in on the creative tension that has resulted in the dialogue between the old and the new that characterizes much of the history and study of Judeo-Spanish. This theme also hopes to encourage presentations on topics and themes previously marginal in Judeo-Spanish and Sephardic studies. 

The deadline for abstracts is December 31, 2017.
