Abstract
For two decades, the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies at Brandeis University’s Summer Institute for Israel Studies (SIIS) has helped equip scholars to teach and write about Israel. Over the course of 20 years (2004-25), over 400 college and university faculty have joined the Schusterman Center for a two-week summer residency at Brandeis University and a 10-day study tour of Israel that features seminars and lectures by leading scholars in the field.
This report provides results of the annual alumni survey for Fellows from cohorts 2004-23 and details Fellows’ professional positions and activities related to Israel during the 2024-25 academic year. The report also examines Fellows’ ongoing connections to SIIS, including their connections to other alumni and use of resources provided by the Schusterman Center. Finally, the report discusses findings related to Fellows’ responses to the Israel-Hamas war and events on their campuses.
