Katz Center's International Fellowship Program, University of Pennsylvania

The Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania invites applications for its 2026–27 international fellowship program, a year focused on war and peace in Jewish history, thought, and culture.

War has been a part of Jewish experience since its very beginnings, and so too has the aspiration for peace. The Katz Center aims to use its fellowship program to support new research into how Jewish history, culture, thought, and expression have been shaped by and shape the experiences of war and peace. Beyond exploring the myriad ways that Jews and Judaism have been impacted by the physical and historical realities of war and peace, we seek to explore how both experiences have developed and figure in philosophical, ethical, political, and literary thinking as well (both Jewish and non-Jewish).

Deadline for applications: November 10, 2025 | DETAILS
