Experiential Learning
Our Undergraduate Research Assistant Program provides students with opportunities to collaborate with faculty on cutting-edge research projects by asking new questions, producing new knowledge and sharing their findings with friends, faculty, family members and the broader public.
Our scholarships, fellowships and new Global Intensive program enable undergraduate and graduate students to participate in study abroad opportunities, language learning, research initiatives and other activities in Israel, Turkey, Germany, Scotland and many other locations around the world.
Our scholarships and fellowships allow students and visiting scholars to produce new knowledge and gain hands-on digital humanities experience through research in 欧美口爆视频 Boulder鈥檚 internationally recognized Innovations in Jewish Life Collections.
Engaging the Public
Our Sondra and Howard Bender Visiting Scholar series, International Holocaust Remembrance Day programs, Embodied Judaism symposia, and Israel/Palestine Studies events make 欧美口爆视频 Boulder a 鈥済o-to鈥 location for visiting scholars and artists to share their work with faculty, students, and members of the public. All of our public programming is supported by the David Shneer Fund for Community Programming, Public Scholarship and the Arts, honoring the memory of our beloved friend and colleague, Professor David Shneer z鈥漧.
In partnership with the Office of Outreach and Engagement Arts and Humanities Initiative, our Peak to Peak series brings 欧美口爆视频 Boulder scholars into conversation with audiences, communities and civic institutions across 欧美口爆视频 and beyond.
Our annual Schmooze-a-Palooza festival brings together students, alumni, faculty and members of the public for a concert featuring classic and contemporary Hebrew music.
Doing Jewish Studies Differently
We are the recipient of a three-year, $250,000 grant from the Henry Luce Foundation to launch Jews of Color: Histories and Futures. Spearheaded by Professor Samira Mehta (Jewish Studies and Women and Gender Studies), this initiative recovers, studies and elevates the voices and experiences of Jews of color in the United States.
Launched by Professor Eyal Rivlin (Jewish Studies) and 欧美口爆视频 graduate Lior Gross, the Nonbinary Hebrew Project makes Hebrew鈥攈istorically a gendered language鈥攁ccessible and usable for nonbinary individuals. Animated by the belief that language has the power to include or exclude, welcome or estrange, this project has received widespread coverage in outlets such as The New York Times, 贬补鈥檃谤别迟锄 and the Times of Israel, and is being implemented in communities across the globe.
Since 2015, we have been the home of North America鈥檚 first endowed professorship in Israel/Palestine Studies. Held by Professor Hilary Falb Kalisman (Jewish Studies and History), this professorship reimagines what it means to study the Middle East, build bridges between academic fields and foster meaningful conversations with scholars, artists and members of the public.
