The Annual ISGAP-Oxford Summer Institute for Curriculum Development in Critical Contemporary Antisemitism Studies, Pembroke College, Oxford, to take place from Sunday, 6 to 18 August 2023, is seeking Scholars-in-Residence for an intensive two-week workshop-based curriculum development programme in interdisciplinary critical contemporary antisemitism studies. The programme is dedicated to the development of critical antisemitism studies as a recognized academic discipline.

The Summer Institute is intended primarily for professors with full-time college or university positions, though exceptional faculty, doctoral and post-doctoral students will be considered. Under the guidance of leading international academics, Scholars-in-Residence will be required to develop a course syllabus and curriculum in the interdisciplinary study of critical contemporary antisemitism. The course syllabus and curriculum is designed to be taught by the Scholar-in-Residence at their home university for course credit on at least two occasions upon completion of the programme.

  • Wiesel-King Jr. Scholars are required to submit a CV, two reference letters and a concise project proposal. Jr. Scholars will work to design projects to combat antisemitism to be implemented in their home university, following the program.

The application deadline is 1 May 2023. Applicants are accepted on a rolling basis, please note that early applicants are encouraged as space is limited. Accepted Scholars-in-Residence will be liable to pay tuition fees of $2000 USD, Wiesel-King Jr. Scholars will be liable to pay tuition fees of $1400.
