Promoting exemplary teaching and scholarship on the modern state of Israel
The Schusterman Center is dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding of Israeli history, politics, culture and society. But its mission goes far beyond scholarship itself. The center is committed to creating and disseminating knowledge about the modern state of Israel, not just at Brandeis, but to a global audience.
The center is shaping and safeguarding the future of Israel studies. We are training the next generation of scholars in the field, while making Israel studies accessible to a worldwide community engaged in learning about Israel and all its facets and nuances. Our faculty and scholars produce innovative research. We host a broad spectrum of events and conferences, support and publish scholarship, fund grants and groundbreaking fellowship programs, and offer a comprehensive online research guide to Israel studies for faculty, students, journalists, and anyone wishing to explore Israel in its myriad facets and nuances.
