The Schusterman Center for Israel Studies invites applications for the 2025-2026 fellowship Diversifying the Israeli Diaspora. The hybrid fellowship will feature a virtual workshop series throughout the year, and an in-person conference at Brandeis University.
It aims to explore the dynamic and evolving experiences of Israeli identity beyond Israel, as it intersects with new trends of migration, and multilayered cultures in diverse destinations. It also analyzes the ways this identity intertwines with the increasingly diverse Jewish, Israeli, and Palestinian diasporas, as well as other diasporas of Israeli residents without Israeli citizenship.
