Special COVID-19 Series Webinar

Teaching Israel and the Arab-Israeli Conflict to Undergraduates: A View From Four Decades at the Front of the Classroom

Thursday, December 10th at 12pm EST

FEATURING:
Dr. Kenneth Stein – Emory University Professor and founding President of Center for Israel Education

About this webinar: Before they arrive on campus, with few exceptions, college undergraduates know very little about modern world history and international relations in general and about the Arab-Israeli conflict in particular. Most lack perspectives for contemporary politics. Most lack a sense of historical context. Students are therefore highly dependent upon individual faculty who present the conflict. Faculty often feel that they have an obligatory role to preach a view about the conflict rather than teach the sources that unfolded and made the conflict what it is today.

Teaching the conflict, modern Middle Eastern history and Israel at Emory have provided keen insights on how the conflict is taught today as compared to the late 1970s and 1980s when neither students nor faculty were drunk on polemics, narratives, politicization, fake history, and an unfiltered web for information. What positive measures can we as faculty, concerned parents and students take to adjust these realities?

Dr. Kenneth Stein is the President of the Center for Israel Education (CIE) and the Director of the Emory Institute for the Study of Modern Israel (ISMI). Since 1977, he has taught modern Middle Eastern History, Political Science, and Israel Studies. The establishment of ISMI in 1998 was the first permanent Institute or Center in the U.S. created for the study of modern Israel. An off-shoot of ISMI, CIE was established in 2008. Ken is the author of six books, numerous papers and

scholarly articles; his expertise focuses on the origins of modern Israel, the conflict, Palestinian history, and U.S.-Israeli relations. Two of his books, The Land Question in Palestine, 1917-1939 (1984) and Heroic Diplomacy: Sadat, Kissinger, Carter, Begin and the Quest for Arab-Israeli Peace (1999) have remained standards in their fields.

He is the recipient of awards at Emory for teaching excellence, life-long mentoring of students and for internationalizing the curriculum. Ken’s initiatives are responsible for bringing to Emory College ten visiting Israeli professors. His vision and execution are responsible for more than two dozen Center-sponsored workshops for students and educators about modern Israel. Educated at Franklin and Marshall College (BA) and the University of Michigan (two MA degrees and a doctorate in Middle Eastern History), he was an advanced graduate student at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In Spring 2006, he was a visiting professor of Political Science at Brown University. He is the primary content author of materials found on the website. Learn more at www.israeled.org
