Studies Centers and Chairs

The following list represents an effort by an Association for Israel Studies (AIS) Task Force to identify centers, institutes, study programs, and chairs that focus on the aca- demic study of modern Israel. It includes only institutions whose primary focus is on modern Israel, rather than on Jewish or Middle Eastern studies more broadly. It also excludes institutions or organizations that focus primarily on policy advocacy or public outreach rather than scholarly research and instruction. Because of definitional issues, it does not at this stage include endowed chairs within Israel. Every effort is made to create a list that is complete and accurate. If there errors or additions, please email Howard M. Wachtel at [email protected], or call 202-885-3799.
