Jewish Studies at Elon

Jewish Studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores Jewish history, texts, languages, and the diverse philosophical, cultural, political, and religious traditions of Jewish communities across the globe and over the span of three thousand years. The Jewish Studies program at Elon provides students with the opportunity to explore these aspects of Jewish civilization from a range of disciplinary perspectives. Our program brings together courses from departments including Religious Studies, World Languages and Cultures, Philosophy, History and Geography, Sociology and Anthropology, Political Science and Policy Studies, and English. In addition, Jewish Studies at Elon strives to offer and (co-)host academic programming that addresses the historical and contemporary experiences of the Jewish people from a range of disciplinary perspectives. To this end, the Jewish Studies Program at Elon is pleased to collaborate and support events with other academic departments as well as interdisciplinary programs and centers on the Elon campus whose offerings further this goal.
