Academic Exchanges
The partnership's academic exchanges seek to create knowledge, foster communication and understanding, and promote enduring relationships between Brandeis and Al-Quds University.
A faculty and graduate student exchange has been held on the subject of American studies while a conversation about science education is scheduled to take place as part of the Effective Teaching Exchange. In May 2009, Al-Quds and Brandeis hosted on the Al-Quds campus an international conference on the theme of women and leadership in state and society, with an emphasis on higher education, government, and community-based organizations.
Undergraduate exchange seminars with the theme "What is a good society?" took place in Istanbul, Turkey, in August 2007 and August 2008. Selected Brandeis students who participated in the programs also took part in workshops and outreach with their Al-Quds student peers at Al-Quds University in May 2009.
