Introduction to Modern Jewish Politics

Graduate / Professional

This course introduces graduate students and advanced undergraduates to the major issues of modern Jewish politics through a close reading of canonical and recent scholarship with an emphasis on Europe, Israel, the United States, and the Maghreb/Mashreq. The course pays special attention to the ways in which constantly shifting political conditions have led to reconsiderations and reconceptualizations of the political past—across the millennia, the political present, and the envisioned future.
