Topics in JIMES: Education in Divided Societies - the Israeli Case

JEWISH, ISLAMIC AND MIDDLE EAST STUDIES 3030

Education policies in Israel are designed in the context of a deeply divided society. In this course, we will question the potential for shared core values in a public system that serves a divided society. Israeli compulsory and higher education policies and practices will serve as case studies shaping the public sphere. Together, we will discuss the role of policies in creating, reducing, or enhancing divisions and disparities and question the relevance of the Israeli case to policies around the world. Each student will analyze educational experiences and policies in various national contexts and will have the opportunity to form their own opinion on the role education can play in diverse and divided societies.
