The Brandeis Center is happy to report on upcoming opportunities to aid in widening the breadth of scholarship and educational material related to anti-Semitism.

A unique opportunity in this regard was recently issued by the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). This opportunity is within the framework of ODIHR’s Words into Action project. ODIHR is seeking applications for a research project to identify key classroom challenges when addressing anti-Semitism across the OSCE region, and to formulate practical reccomendations for educators to address these challenges. The reponses given to ODIHR will help with a review of their existing literature, the implementation of recommendations and changes, and the drafting of “aide–mémoires” for secondary school teachers. This offers secondary school teachers with strong backgrounds in pedagogy a chance to help change educational practices in the face of rising anti-Semitism.

The deadline for applications is the 24th of May. More information can be found here: http://www.osce.org/project/wia
