GRANTS FOR THE STUDY OF SECULAR JUDAISM
NEW
YORK, NEW YORK, September 2003 - The Center for Cultural Judaism
announces Posen Foundation Grants for the Study of Secular Judaism.
These grants are intended to cultivate and support the study of secular
Judaism within already well-established university programs and
departments of Judaic Studies, and other departments or programs in the
humanities, arts or the social sciences (e.g. Philosophy, Literature,
Sociology, Anthropology, etc.) Grants will be awarded to support the
curricular development and teaching of two to four courses per year in
the origin, history, development, texts, philosophy, writings and
practices of Secular Judaism.
In addition, institutions may choose from
our broad list of suggested topics and courses to develop additional
courses in peripheral subjects designed to enhance the understanding of
the primary course in Secular Judaism. To be eligible for the Posen
Foundation Grants, the primary course must focus specifically on Secular
Judaism.
A number of grants of up to $50,000 each per year will be awarded
for the 2004-2005 academic year, or as early as the Spring 2004 semester
if the university is prepared to begin curriculum development. Upon
review, these grants are renewable for up to two years at the discretion
of the Center for Cultural Judaism and The Posen Foundation.
