Description
In February 2026, Harvard Divinity School will host a conference with scholars from the US, Europe, and Israel to examine historical incidents of sexual assault on Jewish women, the challenges of archival research, and the theoretical implications for understanding antisemitism. The conference aims to stimulate scholarly interest and generate additional research. Selected papers will be published as a volume, supported by tentative funding. While primarily closed to invited participants, the conference will include a public event and involve some Harvard faculty and students.
