Guest Lectures

Along with lectures and other functions for an academic public, the Simon Dubnow Institute also addresses a broader public with a series of lectures. Scholars presenting these lectures are drawn from among numerous international guests based for a longer period at the Institute -- professors, post-doctoral scholars and doctoral students -- who detail their research findings for discussion. In addition, prominent scholars and persons from public life regularly give lectures that provide new impetus for the thematic focal areas of the Institute and its research agendas.
