The Enoch Graduate Seminar, founded in 2006, is an international gathering of PhD students and post-Docs in the field of Second Temple Judaism and Christian Origins, promoted by the Enoch Seminar.

History

The Enoch Graduate Seminar was founded in 2006 by Gabriele Boccaccini as an extension of the activities of the Enoch Seminar. The goal was to offer the possibility to international PhD students and Post-Docs to meet and share the results of their research.

The Enoch Graduate Seminar meets every other year, hosted by an international University. It is chaired by two or three senior specialists in the field. Papers circulates in advance among the participants and are only briefly introduced (5 minutes) by the author at the conference, where one hour is devoted to the discussion of each paper, with all participants acting as respondents. The best papers are selected for publication in academic journals. Isaac W. Oliver served as the secretary of the Conference from 2012 to 2016. He was succeeded by Rodney Caruthers.
