LBI London congratulates Jonathan Skolnik on his appointment as co-editor of *AJS Perspectives*, the magazine of the Association for Jewish Studies. Skolnik’s work has long focused on German-Jewish studies, intellectual history and film studies, and his scholarship has also reached LBI London through his contribution to the *Leo Baeck Institute Year Book.
A professor of German and Judaic and Near Eastern studies at UMass Amherst, Skolnik has written widely on Jewish history, memory and minority culture in Germany. His appointment to *AJS Perspectives* reflects that broader engagement with Jewish studies scholarship and with the public presentation of the field.
