犹太人 & 大屠杀的研究

"Surely, it is time to break with the lachrymose theory of pre-Revolutionary woe, and to adopt a view more in accord with historic truth.——教授. 萨罗·巴伦(1928)

A Interdisciplinary Minor for USA 学生

Welcome to the 十大玩彩信誉平台’s 犹太人和大屠杀研究 minor!

Beginning in the fall of 2018, students on our campus will have the ability to take courses that fulfill an 18-credit course of study that will lay the foundation for 进一步参与这一领域. 犹太人 Studies is one of the most diverse fields in academia--there are hundreds of "犹太人 histories" in countries and regions from around the world, and students will learn about 犹太人 life that stretches back more 超过3500年. From the origins of Judaism to the modern State of Israel, and from East Asia to the Americas (and points in-between), Jews have been important contributors 到世界历史. You can start learning about 犹太人 life and Judaism by signing 这门辅修课.

Themes in 犹太人 history, while similar to peoples around the world, tend to also focus on many of the negative aspects of Jews' interactions with "Others."鉴于 rise (again) of Antisemitism in the United States and across the world, from the political right and left, learning about real 犹太人 lives (and not the fictitious and libelous claims of antisemites) will hopefully help to dispel this worrying trend. 另一个 aspect of 犹太人 history that is increasing in importance is the contributions of Jews of Color throughout 犹太人 life; aside from notable Black 犹太人 personalities - like Tiffany Haddish, Daveed Diggs, Nissim Black, and Michael Twitty - Black Jews have been a part of the 犹太人 people for thousands of years, and make up a sizable portion of the Israeli populace today (Beta Israel, who originally come from Ethiopia). 

Regardless, of what you THINK you know about 犹太人 history, Jews, and Judaism, this program intends to challenge those conceptions - and also hopes to open your minds to how minorities (including Jews) make lasting and consequential impacts in our world, 过去和现在.

This program was created due to two prominent factors: demand by the student body, 还有伯特慷慨的礼物 & the late Fanny Meisler, who funded an Endowed Chair in History and 犹太人 Studies, held by 犹太人 & 大屠杀研究项目主任， Dr. 大卫Meola.
