Organizing Israel's conference for Doctoral Students focused on the Sociology and Anthropology of Education

 Dear Blog Readers,

For a while I have been engaged in organizing the Annual conference for Doctoral Students focusing on the Sociology and Anthropology of Education to take place on October 6, 2021. The conference is led by four primary universities in Israel: University of Haifa, Tel Aviv University, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Ben Gurion University of the Negev. It brings forth cutting edge studies of the young cadre of scholars in the field. This year the event is hosted by the Faculty of Education at the University of Haifa and the program for Education, Society and Culture which I chair. 

The conference offers the following panels:

• Education under the COVID Crisis
• Alternative Education and knowledge
• Religion and Identity
• Identity, Class and Political Socialization
• Educational Spaces: Beyond Classroom Walls
• Ethnicity, Periphery and Gender

For more information on the program, presenter names/abstracts, enrollment and more, please visit the Conference Website.

 Dear Readers,

I want to share with you a call for papers on a special edition that I am guest editing for Religions. Please feel free to share this with others that may be of interest

Religion and Inclusive Science Communication - Online Round Tables

 

Dear Readers,

I wanted to share with you an upcoming event I am organizing and co-hosting with colleagues of the University of Haifa and the Technion. The project initiators are: Professor Ayelet Baram-Tsabari of the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, and Professor Yariv Tsfati, of the Department of Communications and Journalism at the University of Haifa. In addition, leading participants and organizers include Dr. Lea Taragin-Zeller (Technion), Nakhi Mishol Shauli (University of Haifa) and Yael Rosenblum.

The event is based on our project on the ultra Orthodox Jewry and their modes of communicating science. We have invited international and local speakers, scholars and practitioners invested in mediating scientific concepts in everyday life. I am posting the flyer that we are distributing here and invite all interested parties to join in on the event.
