News and greetings for the start of the new academic year 2021/22

So, it is that time of year again when the summer break is rapidly coming to an end and the academic year begins anew. We hope that you have all had a restful, Nordic-style summer break and that you are ready for the new term.

At the Nordic Network for Jewish Studies we feel that the new academic year presents a perfect opportunity to reiterate our invitation to you all to share your news with us.

The Network was founded with the intention of creating a platform to connect scholars in Jewish Studies and related fields from across the Nordic region and, with this in mind, we would love it if you could get in touch with us to share Jewish Studies news and events.

You may wish, for example, to:

• showcase a specific research project,
• outline a pedagogical tool or innovation,
• announce a new publication, or to prepare a review of a recent publication,
• announce (or report on) an academic event, a public engagement event or similar initiative, or
• advertise a course.

You are welcome to write to us with the details of the item you’d like to share. You are welcome to prepare the text of your announcement (circa 500 words maximum) but, if you cannot, we can write up the information you provide. News can be shared in any of the Scandinavian languages or in English.

Your news will be shared to our blog’s subscribers (and if you aren’t yet a subscriber, please do sign up below!) and with the Network’s twitter followers (@nordicjewishst). More information about how to prepare your submission can be found on our author guidelines page.

We look forward to hearing from you! And, to sharing your news and events with the Network.
