MEST 148 The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict 6 credits
This course provides students with the knowledge and analytical tools needed to engage productively and respectfully with current events surrounding Israel and Palestine. It situates the war in Gaza, along with other recent events, within the broader history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We will study key moments in the history of the conflict and examine the conflicting narratives formed by different actors within the Israeli and Palestinian communities, as well as by other related communities. Students are not expected to adopt a particular viewpoint; rather, the course emphasizes historical context, critical analysis, and careful engagement with competing perspectives. Discussions will be based on primary sources and interdisciplinary academic scholarship.

RELG 120 Judaism: Text, History, Practice 6 credits
What is Judaism? Who are Jewish people? What are Jewish texts, practices, ideas? What ripples have Jewish people, texts, practices, and ideas caused beyond their sphere? These questions will animate our study as we touch on specific points in over three millennia of history. We will immerse ourselves in Jewish texts, historic events, and cultural moments, trying to understand them on their own terms. At the same time, we will analyze them using key concepts such as ‘tradition,’ ‘culture,’ ‘power,’ and ‘diaspora.’ We will explore how ‘Jewishness’ has been constructed by different stakeholders, each claiming the authority to define it.
