Free and open to the public.
This talk will survey the fields of Jewish Studies and Israel Studies in America from their origins to the present. It will consider the ways in which they intersect and how they are distinct. How does the relationship between these separate yet related fields play out across higher education, particularly at public universities? Drawing on archival research, surveys, and comparisons with the current state of ethnic and area studies, this talk explores the roles Jewish Studies and Israel Studies have played and continue to play on campus.
