Ernst Ludwig Ehrlich Studienwerkes: Promotionsstipendien

Das Ziel von ELES ist es, Jüdinnen und Juden finanziell und ideell zu fördern, die über die eigenen Fachkenntnisse hinaus gesellschaftliches Verantwortungsbewusstsein und Dialogfähigkeit beweisen und damit zu denjenigen gehören, die die Zukunft aktiv mitgestalten. Neben hervorragenden universitären- und Forschungsleistungen wird von den Stipendiat_innen deswegen auch gesellschaftliches Engagement in jüdischen Gemeinden, im sozialen Bereich, in der Jugendarbeit, in studentischen Organisationen oder im gesellschaftlichen Umfeld erwartet.

Frist: 31. März 2025.

Advanced Summer School for Graduate Students: Inside/Out in Jewish Studies Hebrew University of Jerusalem, July 27–31, 2025

How is the inner life (in its emotional, cognitive, experiential, and unconscious aspects) understood in relation to the body and the self’s presentation to the outer world (intention/act; eating; sexuality)? How has space been constructed and conceptualized so as to create insides and outsides, private and public spheres? What is it to be “at home”—for an individual, a community, or a people—and what is gained and lost in being so? What are the ethical issues raised by the creation or erasure of a boundary between inside and outside?  How might God or the world be thought of as inside or outside with relation to the other?

These and other questions related to the theme will be explored through the lens of Jewish history, texts, traditions, practices, and more. Graduate students at any institution worldwide, in any subfield of Jewish studies, past or present, are eligible to apply. The week will also include professionalization sessions to help students think about next steps in their development as scholars, and to reflect together on some of the challenges of academic life.
