Faculty and Staff
MCSJE brings together prominent core faculty who are not only productive scholars, but are also deeply involved in the field of practice. The faculty and staff of MCSJE are dedicated to advancing the field of Jewish education scholarship through expansive research on teaching and learning. The team is also committed to convening and catalyzing other scholars and practitioners in the field. We could not do our work without the contributions of our project and program leaders, colleagues located at other institutions who have taken on leadership roles for specific projects and programs.
