The Greenberg Center for Jewish Studies seeks to provide a common space in which graduate students of all disciplines working in the diverse areas of Jewish Studies can participate in a rich and lively intellectual community.
- Each year, the Greenberg Center coordinates a rich array of graduate courses across the three divisions we serve and designs our program of visitor lectures and seminars with graduate student needs in mind.
- In addition, the Center awards research and travel grants and dissertation year fellowships to students in any department and school working on topics related to Jewish Studies.
- The faculty of the Center can also guide students to the multiple opportunities for the study of Judaism and Jewish culture available across the university.
Prospective and current students should keep in mind that, given the deeply ingrained interdisciplinary culture of the University of Chicago, their opportunities for study and research can range across the entire faculty in addition to the resources of their home department or unit. Although each program has its own requirements, students typically take courses and seminars in departments other than their own, and dissertation committees often include faculty from multiple departments, thus reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of graduate study at this university. Please consult our faculty directory to explore possibilities for interdisciplinary work available at the University of Chicago.
The Director and faculty of the Center will be happy to discuss opportunities for interdisciplinary work in Jewish Studies with interested students.
