We are delighted to announce that we are now accepting submissions for our next round of Taube Prizes for Student Writing in Hebrew & Jewish Studies, generously funded by Taube Philanthropies!
Current Master’s and DPhil students at the University of Oxford across Faculties working on any topic in Hebrew and/or Jewish Studies may each submit one written work—an essay, article, thesis/dissertation chapter, etc.—of a minimum length of 5,000 words and a maximum length of 8,000 words (both excluding footnotes) to the OCHJS for consideration by the committee. The 2 candidates with the most original and promising written work each will be awarded a prize of £1,000.
To apply, please submit a completed application form along with your written work—both as PDFs—to the Academic Registrar, Madeleine Trivasse, at registrar@ochjs.ac.uk.
The deadline for submissions is Friday 30 May 2025 (Week 5) at 12 noon UK time.
