What’s your ideal AJS conference?

I’ve been going to the AJS conference just about every year for the past twenty years. I keep coming back for the small venue and intimate scale. If you go for long enough, you get to know everyone. Year in and out, you run into her, him, or them in the lobby, on a panel, at the hotel bar, or wandering around the book exhibit. The proximity makes for a sense of community-citizenship and close bonds of scholarly-human fellowship, which I think is special to a forum like the AJS conference with its parochial character, and which makes the conference precious. What would be an ideal conference? One where I get to see my friends, meet colleagues, make new friends, and hear something new. Not the same old lines of analysis that I’ve heard over and over, but something, anything, that I’ve never heard before, at least not at the AJS conference, some kind of intellectual connection that might force me to rethink the study of the Jews and Judaism, the human condition, in some new light, from a skewed perspective and larger frame.

  4. Spot on, Susan! Thanks for weighing in. And thanks for reminding the gents that prophylactics are better than waiting for a male birth control pill and taking stupid risks…Completely agreed, Agellius. Care must be taken in these pronouncements, lest we get lost in political ideology or vague generality.I still read everything you post on your blog, BTW. It comes to my email. I appreciate your posts very much. Keep up the Good work.I just finished writing a long-winded email to the District where my daughter attends kindergarten objecting to this practice. I was googling “ageism” after I hit send and found your article. My email echos your sentiment. Beautifully written and well-articulated article. I’ll be sharing your article with the school administration to substantiate my ageism argument. Thank you for sharing!! Also, thank you for reminding me to be a strong mommy. My girls won’t be attending the 100th day of school. We’re not feeding the stereotype.Jim,Doesn’t look like your more recent posts are here yet.I wonder whether one of the fallacies might be attempting to intimidate the opponent with erudite-sounding/foreign-language phrases. 🙂I feel very thankful that I could read that awesome article. Thanks for sharing. Keep posting.We also provide hotmail & yahoo customer care services in USA & Canada. Feel free to Hotmail Help Guide Contact yahoo help Yahoo Customer Care This is a really good post and true. I would also submit that in organizing our community we will do well to have a home=family focus because that is where it begins. Great article! I no longer live in New York, I know live in a small city and yet the same issues are present.

    Dear M Suarez,Thank you for your question.The statement in the article is oblique.What I intended was to suggest that by purposefully avoiding use of an entity formed under the auspices of the secretary of state or similar state agency the disclosures required by the CTA can be avoided.Thank you for reading the article and your kind words.Bob Ward
