Institute of Jerusalem Studies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Institute of Jerusalem Studies (IJS) is the Jerusalem branch of the Institute for Palestine Studies. The Institute was established in 1995 in Ramallah and moved to Jerusalem in the year 2000. Three years later, during the Palestinian intifada, the offices were once again returned to Ramallah due to Israeli restrictions on movement.

The main objective of the Institute is to produce scholarship in English and Arabic on the city of Jerusalem. It publishes both the Jerusalem Quarterly (English) and the Hawliyyat al-Quds (Arabic).

The current director is Dr. Salim Tamari.
