Should you wish to join EAJS, please complete the application form.
Membership of the Association is open to all with an active scholarly interest in Jewish studies. The Association is a voluntary academic body and registered charity whose Articles of Association require that applications for membership should be supported by two referees in the field of Jewish studies familiar with your work. Please ask your referees to write directly to the Secretariat in support of your application. (For students unable to name two referees, one will be sufficient.)
Full membership is open to scholars resident in Europe, associate membership is open to those not resident in Europe, and student membership is open to those engaged as graduate students in Jewish studies at a European university. All members pay £25.00 p.a. except student members who pay £15.00 if they wish to receive the Association’s journal, or no fee if not. Student members are required to confirm in writing by 15 February of each year to the Secretariat the continuation of their student status and their interest in retaining membership of the Association. Institutions cannot become members.
Membership entitles you to:
- A free annual subscription to the online version of the European Journal of Jewish Studies, published by E.J. Brill (Full and Associate Membership only; Student members may elect to gain access to the Journal for an annual fee of £15.00). Full and associate members must be completely up to date with their payment of fees in order to retain access to the Journal.
- Free access to the EAJS Online Directory of Jewish Studies in Europe, which provides information about institutions and departments, scholars and libraries engaging in Jewish Studies in Europe at a higher education level. The Online Directory is the successor to the hard-copy Directory of Jewish Studies in Europe published by the EAJS in 1998.
- Free access to the EAJS Funders Database for expert tailored information about funding sources in Jewish Studies.
- The monthly EAJS “Newsflash” with details of current jobs, conference announcements and other news downloaded into your inbox.
- Reduced conference fees at EAJS congresses.
- The opportunity to organise and attend the annual EAJS summer colloquium in Oxford. There will be a Call for Proposals for a theme for the colloquium, which will be co-ordinated by the successful applicant, who must be a member of the EAJS. The colloquium co-ordinator will be responsible for inviting participants and issuing a call for papers, setting up and running the academic programme, and supervising all academic aspects of the colloquium. The EAJS provides considerable administrative support in that it co-ordinates and submits the funding application and is responsible for arranging the venue and accommodation. EAJS members wishing to submit a proposal for co-ordinating a colloquium should contact the secretary daniel.langton@eurojewishstudies.org.
