Visiting Fellowship in Jewish Studies

The Jewish Studies program at Boston College invites applicants for its annual Visiting Scholar Fellowship in Jewish Studies. The fellowship is for a one-week residency during the Spring semester, the exact dates of which will be determined in consultation with the fellow. During their time at Boston College, the fellow will present their research in a public lecture and separately join class sessions of Jewish Studies courses at the university. Fellows will also have opportunities to meet with faculty and students informally.

Jewish Studies at Boston College is an interdisciplinary program of the Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences. Faculty in Jewish Studies hail from the departments of Theology; Communication; Eastern, Slavic, and German Studies; Art, Art History, and Film; Political Science; English; and Theater.
