Research > Jewish Social Studies

Jewish Social Studies: History, Culture and Society (The New Series) seeks to advance the understanding of Jewish life and its past. Its emphasis is on history--particularly modern and early modern history in all its ramifications. In reconstructing the past, the journal features work in disciplines as varied as anthropology, politics, sociology, religion, and literature, as well as history. Issues of identity and peoplehood, comparisons and contrasts in the evolution of distinctive Jewish societies and cultures around the world, the possibilities opened by gender as an analytical category are among the themes of interest to the journal. Jewish Social Studies publishes self-reflective and monographic articles in an effort to rechart the boundaries of Jewish historical scholarship.

Jewish Social Studies, edited by Aron Rodrigue and Steven J. Zipperstein, is published three times a year by Indiana University Press. It is a project of the Conference on Jewish Social Studies and is funded, in part, by grants from the Koret Foundation and the Lucius N. Littauer Foundation. For subscription information, you may either stop by the Taube Center for Jewish Studies Office in Building 240, Room 103 for a brochure, or contact Indiana University Press at:
