History (1933-1948): What We Choose to Remember

CFP Deadline: January 15, 2010

Keynote: Bishop Elias Chacour, the Patriarch of Galilee
Archbishop Elias Chacour was born to a Palestinian Christian family in the
village of Biram in Upper Galilee in 1939. His family moved to Ibillin, a town
in Galilee, when the Israeli authorities evicted the entire village of Biram in
1947. Archbishop Chacour became a citizen of Israel when the state was created
in 1948.

Archbishop Chacour currently heads an Arabic university located in Ibillin. He
is the first Israeli citizen - and the first Hebrew-speaking leader - for the
archdiocese. Known for his efforts to promote friendship between Arabs and
Jews, Archbishop Chacour has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three
times.

Invited Speakers: John Pawlikowski, Gerald Fogarty, Hala Gores, Michael Marrus,
Eugene Fisher, Rabbi Joshua Stampfer, Frank Afranji, Rev. Rodney Page, Deborah
Lipstadt

Conference:
The purpose of this conference is to examine the ideas – legal, philosophical,
religious, mythical, medical, and scientific – and the institutions – secular
and sacred – that informed and directed as well as opposed and thwarted the
unfolding of events from the establishment of the dictatorships in the western
world to the establishment of the state of Israel so the lessons of history can
guide the future.

The conference welcomes submissions of one page abstracts from a wide range of
specialties and submissions from established scholars as well as from graduate
and undergraduate students. Electronic submissions are preferred and may be
sent to powell@up.edu by January 15, 2010.
