”Sephardic Societies and Cultures“ is the only academic book series in Germany with an explicit Sephardic focus. It contributes to research on Iberian Jewish communities, its Western and Eastern Sephardic Diasporas, as well as Jewish and non-Jewish perspectives on and interactions with Sephardic Jews from the Middle Ages to the present. The series is aimed at researchers and students of Judaic Studies and Jewish Studies, Jewish, Christian and Islamic Theologies, Israel and Middle Eastern Studies, History, Philosophy, Literature and related subjects. Manuscripts should follow a cultural studies approach, contribute to research into the global history of Sephardic Judaism in all its diversity, reception and interconnectedness, and address current issues and discussions that are also of interdisciplinary interest. The series includes monographs, anthologies, editions as well as outstanding dissertations and post-doctoral theses.

This series addresses social, political and economic issues of South Asia, set in the context of the historical and cultural space, religions and identities of the region, and ensconced in the heritage and memories that underpin them all. The series conflates both theory and area. It welcomes scholarship on a single country or part of a country, comparative studies looking at single problems across the region and research on global issues with significance for South Asia. The series aims at the academia, politics, media and the general public interested in issues of development, security, trade or tourism that bring South Asia – from Afghanistan to the Maldives – to the attention of the world.

This interdisciplinary and internationally oriented series welcomes submissions of monographs and anthologies written in either German or English.
