AJS Perspectives
The Magazine of the Association for Jewish Studies

Published biannually, AJS Perspectives is the leading forum for exploring methodological and pedagogical issues in Jewish studies.  Past issues have focused on German Jewish Studies, Sephardic Studies, Imperialism, and the 350th anniversary of the American Jewish community.  Ongoing features include technology and Jewish studies research; reviews of museum exhibits and catalogs; and issues for graduate students and early career scholars.
