Ambassador Michael Oren welcomed 22 renowned Israeli scholars to the Embassy of Israel in Washington, D.C., this week for the Israeli Scholars’ Reception 2010. These professors have come to the U.S. under the auspices of the AICE Visiting Israeli Professors program and will spend the next academic year teaching on college campuses around the country.
Supported by CLSFF, the Visiting Israeli Professors program is among those recognized for the instrumental role it has played in spurring the growing support for Israel studies on U.S. campuses. It has brought more than 60 professors to 40-plus U.S. campuses, offering more students more opportunities to study Israel through a variety of lens including the environment, history, immigration, literature, law, media, medicine, political science and sociology, among others.
Professors will be in residence at the following universities:”Israel’s multicultural and multi-ethnic experience impacts its society on all levels,” says Mitchell Bard, AICE’s executive director. “AICE’s Schusterman Visiting Israeli Scholars provide greater insight into the legal, cultural and educational impact of this unique history that blends East and West, religious and secular and traditional and modern. These different perspectives on Israel will bring a new dimension on the Jewish State to the students and faculty on U.S. campuses, as well as those interested in Israel and the Middle East in the greater campus communities.”
