INTERNATIONAL SUMMER RESEARCH WORKSHOPS FOR SCHOLARS
The Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies solicits proposals from scholars to coordinate two-week research workshops at the Museum during June–August of each year. Established in 1999, the Center’s Summer Research Workshop program provides an environment in which groups of scholars working in closely related areas of study—but with limited previous face-to-face interaction—can gather to discuss a central research question or issue; their research methodologies and findings; the major challenges facing their work; and potential future collaborative scholarly ventures.

Proposals are welcome from scholars in all relevant academic disciplines, including history, political science, literature, Jewish studies, philosophy, religion, psychology, comparative genocide studies, law, and others. Awards are granted on a competitive basis.

The Center also periodically issues calls for applicants for international workshops that explore specific critical issues in Holocaust studies; encourage collaborative research; discuss methodologies and research results; and lay the groundwork for future research and publication. These workshops last two weeks and are led by leading scholars in the field.
