The European Journal of Jewish Studies (EJJS) is a prominent voice in global Jewish studies, having delivered entirely new directions for research in the field. Recently, a new editorial team took charge of this prestigious journal. With the changing of the guard, the EJJS is all set for a major revamp.

In this episode, the editors of EJJS—Marcin Wodziński, a professor of Jewish History & Literature at University of Wroclaw, and Katja Smid, a distinguished researcher in Sephardic Studies at the Spanish National Research Council in Madrid, discuss exciting new plans and future directions for the journal, as well as their motivation to revamp it. Among other issues, they discuss how upcoming issues will renew focus on thematic sections, starting with the first such section on Jewish history and culture in the Balkans, which is slated to appear in Spring 2023.
