Performing the Canadian Jewish Archive: Research Fellowship
This is an ongoing initiative under the aegis of the Endowed Chair in Canadian Jewish Studies at Concordia University and is administered by Prof. Miranda Crowdus. The general goal of the PCJA program is to generate an ongoing series of critical research and creative projects from a range of disciplines that will: (1) utilize archival resources from a wide variety of current and original angles and approaches; (2) contribute to the breadth of critical scholarship investigating the Jewish-Canadian experience; and, (3) stimulate innovative interdisciplinary and creative engagement with archival resources to transform them into active agents of cultural production. While there are specific calls issued for potential applicants to work on specific projects, applications are welcomed throughout the year. See the attached document for more details.
