Jewish Studies at King's

Description

Jewish Studies at King’s is an interdisciplinary network of students and scholars associated with King’s College London. The Network's research draws on anthropology, history, literary studies, religious studies, sociology and related fields to explore Jewish life in its various Christian, Muslim and secular contexts from antiquity to the present moment.

The Network explores Jewish texts and cultures not only within their specific historical contexts, but also in the process of their creative reception and transmission and in relation to current questions and debates.

The group offers reading groups, a research seminar and the annual Maccabaean Lecture, and it regularly organises international workshops and conferences. It is involved with the University of Amsterdam and the Open University of Israel in organising an International Winter School in Jewish Studies for MA and PhD students.
