Schusterman Center for Israel Studies

We are happy to collaborate with you to develop a robust program tailored to your group's specific interests. Past workshop sessions have included lectures such as:

• "Origins of Zionism" with Rachel Fish, Associate Director of the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies, Brandeis University

• "Conflict and Negotiations" with Hussein Ibish, Senior Resident Scholar, Arab Gulf States Institute, Washington DC

• "Jewishness in Israel" with David Ellenson, Director of the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies and Visiting Professor in the Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies, Brandeis University

• "Narrating the Nation" with Ilana Szobel, Associate Professor of Modern Hebrew Literature on the Joseph H. and Belle R. Braun Chair, Brandeis University

• "The State of Palestinian Political Leadership and the Peace Process" with Ghaith al-Omari, Senior Fellow at the Washington Institute

The Schusterman Center also develops conferences for educators at the high-school level and below on Israel Studies topics.

The program and schedule can range from a couple of days in length to nearly a week. We are happy to work with you to adapt the schedule to your timeframe.

Academic lectures by experts in this multidisciplinary field are supplemented by discussions, pedagogy workshops, and perhaps media such as films.
