Bridging the Divide: Teaching Perspectives on Israel/Palestine

Talk by Professor Michal Raucher of Rutgers University.

How do we best educate ourselves about topics as polarizing, and emotionally and politically charged, as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Professor Michal Raucher will share how she approaches this challenge teaching a large lecture class in a diverse campus, helping students engage with a wide range of perspectives through tools like comparative news analysis. Join us for a conversation that explores not only what students are learning on campuses today, but also how all of us might better understand each other across deep divides.

This program is co-sponsored by The Ohel Minyan.
