For instance\, what does t he built environment tell us about Jewish life in the South? What can we l earn from material culture? From oral histories\, ethnographic fieldwork\, or literary texts? Possible topics include the history of individual\, co ngregational\, and academic southern Jewish archives\; southern Jewish mat erials in non-Jewish and/or non-southern archives\; archival efforts to co llect contemporary materials and/or those from &ldquo\;silenced&rdquo\; co mmunities\; southern Jewish foodways\; and other innovative and interdisci plinary methods for studying Jews in the South.
