The European Association of Israel Studies is pleased to announce that the 8th Annual Conference will take place from Sunday, 8 September to Tuesday, 10 September 2019 at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University, Prague.

In a departure from previous EAIS Annual Conference calls we have published, we would like to invite EAIS members to propose, in the first instance, titles for panels which they are happy to chair and / or on which they are happy to present a paper. These panel proposals may include a confirmed list of presenters, or simply a panel title which, if approved by the EAIS Annual Conference Selection Committee, would be made available for other prospective presenters to join with a relevant paper. The deadline for panel proposals is: 24 February 2019. Once the panel titles have been confirmed, we will invite you to submit your paper proposals relating to one or more of the panels. If you have any queries or questions related to the conference, please get in touch.
DATA
Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) is an NSF-funded initiative. Investigators propose survey experiments to be fielded using a nationally representative Internet platform via NORC’s AmeriSpeak® Panel. In an effort to enable younger scholars to field larger-scale studies than what TESS normally conducts, we are fielding a Special Competition for Young Investigators. While anyone can submit at any time through TESS’s regular proposal mechanism, this Special Competition is limited to graduate students and individuals who are no more than 3 years post-PhD (PhD must have been received in 2016 or after). Winning projects will be allowed to be fielded at a size up to twice the usual budget as a regular TESS study. Individuals can submit only one solo or co-authored submission for the special competition.) The deadline for proposals is March 1, 2019. Full details about the competition are available HERE or at https://urldefense.proofpoint.
