We’re speaking with founding and current editors of In Geveb: A Journal of Yiddish Studies, about what it means to establish a new journal. Founded in 2015, In Geveb partook in the decade's ethos of disruption in technology by seeking to reimagine the academic journal. Aspiring to be the “N+1 of Yiddish studies, the journal is completely online, and contains sections on pedagogy and translation, as well as a blog, and has remained accessible to readers outside of the academy. Our guests, Jessica Kirzane, Saul Noam Zaritt, Sarah Zarrow, and Dalia Wolfson, tell us about the skills and knowledge they acquired about things ranging from fundraising and the financial side of a journal, to managing others and cultivating a collaborative and supportive working environment. We also talk about what working on the journal has allowed them to do in their professional lives, that had not been possible, otherwise.
