Fellowship

Media Organization: Jewish Currents

Company Description

Jewish Currents is an award-winning magazine of politics, culture, and ideas. We publish quarterly in print and daily online. We have received acclaim for our in-depth reporting, trenchant analysis, and rigorous cultural criticism, and for our attention to literary quality and style.

Issues we cover include the uses and misuses of antisemitism, the inner workings of Jewish communal organizations, Israel/Palestine politics on the ground and internationally, race and racialization, strategies and horizons of American left movements, the global rise of the far right, diasporic cultural expression, labor, climate, incarceration, immigration, and feminism. Since relaunching in 2018 with an all-new staff and design, we have quickly established ourselves as an essential voice in the contemporary conversation.

- Assisting staff writers and editors with research
- Editing, reporting, and writing pieces

- Copy-editing and proofreading web piece

Additional responsibilities will depend on personal interests and may range from archival work to participation in our biweekly podcast.
