Teaching the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict on Campus: One Professor’s Reflections

Part of our spring learning series Timely Insights, Timeless Wisdom 

With Dr. Michal Raucher, JTS Fellow and Associate Professor of Jewish Studies at Rutgers University 

This session is generously sponsored by

• Paul Kerson and Marleen Kassel Kerson

Please note that we will not be posting a recording of this session. We hope you will be able to join us live.

Since October 7 college campuses have drawn a great deal of attention from the media regarding their Israel/Palestine activism. However, little focus has been given to the way students learn inside the classroom. Join Dr. Michal Raucher to hear about her experiences teaching a large undergraduate course on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict last fall. She will discuss her approach to teaching the conflict honed over ten years, the challenges raised by October 7 among a particularly diverse student body, how she pivoted to keep students engaged in learning, and the course’s impact beyond the classroom.
