Conference Report: Globalising French Jewish Politics, July 2–3, 2019

French Jewish politics have often been studied through the lens of a single organ¬isation or in isolation from the broader European and international contexts. Historically, however, French Jewish actors have been well integrated into trans¬national, transimperial, and global networks. This conference aimed to revisit the history of French Jewish politics, within the broader contexts of diaspora politics, Jewish and non-Jewish internationalism, and transnational mobility. The panellists also sought to complicate notions of Frenchness and French Jewish identity, probe for/into the impact of such international ties and endeavors upon French Jewish politics and investigate the transformation and legacy of political practices in the longue durée. A secondary aim was to reflect on the French Jewish self-perceptions often inscribed in the archives and used by scholars in the field. The conference took place at the Central European University in Budapest on July 2–3, 2019 and brought together doctoral students, early career researchers, and senior scholars from Europe, Israel, and the United States
