Durham University’s Centre for the Study of Jewish Culture, Society and Politics brings together a group of leading scholars representing nine departments and coming from a wide range of disciplines including Anthropology, Cultural Studies, Geography, History, Literary Theory, Political Science, and Theology. They conduct both empirical and theoretical research involving different aspects of the lives of Jewish communities around the world. Their current research interests include, but are not limited to, post-Biblical Judaism, anthropology and political sociology of Jewish communities, twentieth-century Jewish history and literature, Jewish political thought, and the study of the State of Israel. We welcome scholars specialising in any area of Jewish Studies. The staff are involved with research about Israel among Diaspora Jewish communities; intercultural, interethnic and interreligious interactions in European urban contexts, as exemplified by Muslim-Jewish relations, in and across cities in France, Germany and the United Kingdom; antisemitism in football fan cultures across Europe and beyond; visions for Jewish citizenship in Europe.
There is a Jewish Studies library
