| Introduction | Dr Jonathan Boyd is Executive Director of the Institute for Jewish Policy Research (JPR), a London-based research unit and think tank specialising in contemporary Jewish affairs in Britain and Europe (see: www.jpr.org.uk). He holds a doctorate in educational philosophy and lifelong learning from the University of Nottingham (UK) where he specialised in Jewish community education, and a BA and MA in Modern Jewish History from University College London, where his main areas of interest were Israel-Diaspora relations, the history of antisemitism and the Holocaust. Prior to joining JPR, he held positions in research and policy at the JDC International Centre for Community Development, the Jewish Agency, UJIA and the Holocaust Educational Trust, and he is a former Jerusalem Fellow at the Mandel Leadership Institute in Israel. Author of "The Sovereign and the Situated Self: Jewish Identity and Community in the 21st Century" (Profile Books, 2003), his published research spans contemporary Jewish identity and demography in Britain and across Europe, antisemitism and child poverty. Much of that work is available on the JPR website. He blogs here in a purely personal capacity. |
