The Journal of Medieval Iberian Studies is a new interdisciplinary journal for innovative scholarship on the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic cultures of the Iberian Peninsula from the fifth to the sixteenth centuries. JMIS encompasses archaeology, art and architecture, music, philosophy and religious studies, as well as history, codicology, manuscript studies and the multiple Arabic, Latin, Romance, and Hebrew linguistic and literary traditions of Iberia.

Essays that engage with multiple disciplinary perspectives, nontraditional submissions (including multimedia and theoretically attuned work), and comparative articles addressing the significance for medieval Iberian studies of broader developments in medieval European, colonial Latin American, Peninsular or North African studies—and vice-versa—are strongly encouraged. JMIS, which is supported in part by the Medieval Institute and the Graduate College at Western Michigan University and by Hofstra University, will be published twice a year, with occasional thematic clusters.
