About Uppsala Jewish Studies

Forum for Jewish Studies publishes the series Uppsala Jewish Studies, UJS, which is part of Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis (AUU)

UJS publishes mainly new Swedish research in Jewish studies in a broad sense. The series publishes monographs, anthologies, lecture series, conference papers, and primary sources.

The two directors for FJS, Lars M Andersson and Cecilia Wassén, serve as the general editors for the series. The editorial board consists of faculty representatives from FJS's general board and scholars in Jewish studies from different Swedish and international universities. The editorial board members take turns having the responsibility for the individual volumes. At times, we also invite guest editors. Two scholars independently peer-review the submitted papers anonymously (Double-blind peer-review). The publications are available in paperback editions (Danish binding) and digitally via DIVA.

Uppsala Jewish Studies is primarily geared towards scholars, academics, and students in Jewish studies in a broad sense, but also towards the public. The editors welcome proposals for publication in Jewish Studies broadly.

Requirements

By submitting material to the editors, the author guarantees that the text has not previously been published elsewhere, neither in full nor in significant parts, in Swedish or any other language. In addition, the author thereby guarantees that the material has not been offered, nor will be offered, for publication elsewhere before the editors have decided on publication in Uppsala Jewish Studies.

Uppsala Jewish Studies accepts manuscripts written in Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, English, German, and French. To be considered for publication, the manuscript must follow the style guide for Uppsala Jewish Studies and be well-written stylistically and grammatically. The guidelines are based on the style guide for Historisk tidskrift (Journal of History; see here), which is supplemented with rules for transliterations of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek ​​(pp 56-60 in SBL Handbook Pdf, 176 kB.of Style, 2nd ed.

Upcoming publications

In June 2024, UJS will publish a monograph by Carl Henrik Carlsson. It is a cohort study on the integration into Swedish society of all children to Jews born in Tsarist Russia living in Sweden in 1880. Carlsson has followed every individual in the group until 1920, studying their social, economic, and geographical mobility, marriage patterns (exogenous and endogenous), conversions, name changes, etc.

In the fall of 2024, an anthology on Swedish antisemitism, edited by Lars M Andersson and Karin Kvist Geverts will be published.
