Keynote speakers include Benjamin Kedar (Hebrew University) and Maria Rosa Menocal (Yale).

Deadline: 15 June 2008. Contact: Cecilia Gaposchkin, [log in to unmask] or Christopher MacEvitt, [log in to unmask] .

Please let me know if you have questions, as I am one of the organizers. It is lovely here in October.
