  • Today’s campus conflicts and the future of Jewish Studies

    Tuesday, March 11, 7:00 pm PDT - 8:30 pm PDT at Kane Hall 210

    Media and political attention are focused on college campuses, and Jews figure prominently in these debates. Jewish Studies programs, often the campus address for studying Jews, Judaism, and Israel, now find themselves at ground zero of public debates around academic freedom, antisemitism, and the role of higher education.  Join philosopher Dr. Gilah Kletenik and historian Dr. Devin E. Naar in a conversation moderated by former Cole Fellow, Dr. Daniel Heller to reflect on key questions provoked by our current moment.
