Jerusalem in History and Imagination: PhD Course in Jerusalem , October 19–28 2020 (5 ECTS)

Organizers: Anders-Christian Lund Jacobsen and Kasper Bro Larsen, Aarhus University, in collaboration with the Nordic Network for the Study of Judaism, Christianity and Islam in the First Millenium (NNJCI)

Introduction
“The perception of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more; it is the history of heaven and earth” (Benjamin Disraeli, British prime minister, 1868, 1874–80). This PhD course investigates the historical interactions between the historical city of Jerusalem and the symbolic Jerusalem in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic imagination. The course is conducted as a combination of lectures by the course organizers, local guest lectures, excursions in Jerusalem, and student presentations. Apart from Nordic doctoral candidates, the PhD course will be attended by a group of MA students in Theology from Aarhus University.

The Nordic Network for the Study of Judaism, Christianity and Islam in the First Millennium (NNJCI) is a network of faculty and PhD-students from Nordic academic institutions that coordinates annual, interdisciplinary excursions, with an integral seminar part, for Nordic PhD-students in disciplines within the wider field of the first millennium history of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, in their various contexts in the Mediterranean area in its widest sense. Such venues, bringing together scholars from the Nordic countries, strengthen and stimulate research within this field, as the PhD-students will be able to engage with and draw on a much wider network of expertise.
