Issues in Israel's Social History

The students will be split into two groups. Each week, half the class will attend in person and half will be remote.

From the mass arrival of Middle Eastern Jewry in the 1950s to the emergence of the tent protests in 2011, this course will examine how a wide-range of societal issues, conflicts, and dilemmas shaped the historical trajectory of Israeli society. It is meant to provide an introduction to some of the complexities present in Israeli society.
