Academic Council
The Academic Council of the American Jewish Historical Society is an organization of scholars committed to the study of American Jewish history that seeks to support and maintain the highest standards of scholarship in the field. The Executive Committee of the Academic Council, which is the governing body of the organization, elects the members. Members of the Academic Council oversee the journal, American Jewish History, and serve on the committees that award the Society’s grants and awards to undergraduate, graduate students, and scholars. In addition, they hold a biennial Scholars’ conference, and initiate programs, symposia and exhibitions concerned with American Jewish history.
