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.
Full and Associate Membership of the EAJS includes a free subscription to the online version of the European Journal of Jewish Studies (EJJS). Full and associate members must be completely up to date with their payment of fees in order to receive their free copy of the Journal. Student membership may include a subscription to the Journal for a fee of £15 per annum. Students that pay this fee will retain the status of ‘student member’. Details of the journal can be found in the Information area, here.
Another benefit of membership is 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.
Other benefits of membership include access to the EAJS Funders Database, the monthly EAJS Newsflash delivered to your inbox, and reduced registration rates at EAJS Congresses.
