The Program funds the development and implementation of one or more "core courses" in the history of secular Jewish thought and/or culture. These courses in Jewish thought, history, sociology, anthropology, or other related disciplines - or ideally an interdisciplinary course - examine the process of Jewish secularization over the past three centuries or focus specifically and explicitly on the secular traditions within modernity. The courses must be broadly conceived and not limited to one national experience. The Program does not dictate a single template for these courses. On the contrary, the Program is interested in fostering creativity in the teaching of this subject and successful applications must demonstrate such original thinking.
