Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the Borns Jewish Studies Program, many of our graduate courses are housed in different departments, including Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures, Religious Studies, History, Germanic Studies, English, and more. All of these courses are taught by our exceptional faculty and give students the opportunity to learn from a variety of disciplines and to choose their own disciplinary focus.

Even though I study Judaism in antiquity, some of the most provocative and productive conversations I’ve had during my time here at IU have been with scholars of Judaism in the modern period, conversations that happen because of the multi-department, multidiscipline character of the Borns JSP.
