A five-week institute to be held at the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies (UK) for twenty-five college and university teachers to examine the evolution of medieval European conceptions of alterity.

This proposal seeks funding to hold a five-week summer institute to be held July 2, 2010 - August 11, 2010. The summer institute will allow participants to gain a better understanding of changes in the legal status, economic conditions, cultural stereotypes and depictions of Jews as the most visible and problematic minority group in medieval Christendom.
