Engaging Jewish Studies at EMU

Jewish Studies

Description

The EMU Center for Jewish Studies has been in existence for over a decade, but, as a result of retirements and austerity in replacements, the interdisciplinary field of Jewish Studies is not well reflected at EMU, either in course offerings across the curriculum or in faculty research. This seminar will bring together a number of interested faculty and lecturers to develop EMU’s curricular offerings in Jewish Studies and to support faculty research on topics involving some Jewish Studies component. The purpose of the program is to promote Jewish Studies content across the curriculum and in the research activity of faculty on campus, as well as to develop the capacity of the university to deal with questions of Judaism and inclusion (including matters of religious diversity and antisemitism). Participants in this semester-long seminar will receive an honorarium of $300.  Applications for this seminar are due on Friday, September 8, at 12 PM.

Registration

NOTE: The meeting time will be determined once the applicants are selected.
