The Schusterman Center for Israel Studies (SCIS), a research center at Brandeis University, advances the understanding of Zionism and modern Israel. Through exemplary research and innovative education, we inform and inspire a global academic community, and students at the university and around the world. We envision a vibrant academic community of scholars, students, and a broader global community, equipped with trusted research and resources on Zionism and modern Israel - from the late Ottoman period to the present day. By embracing intellectual openness and encouraging diverse perspectives and challenging assumptions, we transcend divisive binaries in political discourse, fostering nuanced and constructive engagement.
