Nexus is the official publication of the biennial German Jewish Studies Workshop at Duke University, the first ongoing forum in North America for German Jewish studies.

The contributions are organized in three sections according to their approach to German Jewish Studies: theoretical and philosophical, literary-historical, or approaches that focus on the Jew(s) in today’s Germany.
