Israel Studies Research Grants Awarded for 2018
December 12, 2018
The Crown Family Center for Jewish and Israel Studies announces five research awards in Israel Studies. Applications were evaluated by Director Martin Eichenbaum together with Assistant Director of Jewish Studies Claire Sufrin and Associate Director of Israel Studies Elie Rekhess. For applications in which a member of the committee had a direct interest, that member recused himself from the deliberations.
