Jewish and Arab Childhood in Israel
This book is a result of the growing public and academic interest in the variety of childhoods that take place side by side in the multicultural state of Israel, despite its tiny geographical dimensions. In a collection of groundbreaking articles, the book describes various features of Israeli childhoods – in the present and recent past – in both Arab and Jewish societies. The first section of the book - 'Childhood and Environment in Israel' - addresses the various spaces in which childhood practices occurred and still occur in Israel – the intimate home environment, the educational environment, playgrounds, and many others. The second section – 'Childhoods and Power Structures in Is...
Civic Education in Polarized Times
Reveals the possibilities and challenges of civic education in circumstances of extreme polarization, and how civic learning and political divisiveness can interact and influence each other As fears about polarization—and its contribution to democratic crisis and corrosion—rise, many people have posited civic education as a possible remedy. In a time of increasing political polarization, what should the goals of civic education be, and how should they be implemented? In the latest installment of the NOMOS series, Eric Beerbohm and Elizabeth Beaumont bring together a distinguished group of interdisciplinary scholars across philosophy, politics, and law, inviting us to think deeply about t...
Fictions of Gender
In the wake of the #MeToo movement, gender scholars and activists have asked whether a reconcilliation between Zionism and feminism is possible in the current political landscape. Fictions of Gender explores the contemporary controversies surrounding both Zionism and feminism, and how they are prefigured in the experiences and legacies of early Zionist women. Drawing on extensive archival research and the rarely studied corpus of published and unpublished creative, biographic, and essayistic writings by Zionist women throughout the intense first eighty years of the Zionist project (1880s–1950s), Orian Zakai situates Zionist women within the larger histories of colonization and the politics...

Educational Evaluation
There are two common purposes in educational evaluation which are, at times, in conflict with one another. Educational institutions usually require evaluation data to demonstrate effectiveness to funders and other stakeholders, and to provide a measure of performance for marketing purposes. Educational evaluation is also a professional activity that individual educators need to undertake if they intend to continuously review and enhance the learning they are endeavouring to facilitate. This book presents new research on issues of vital importance to this field.
Kulturerbe teilen?!
Das Konzept des geteilten Kulturerbes hat Konjunktur. Phänomene wie Migration und Digitalisierung, aber auch die Bewertung postnationaler Selbstbilder in Europa oder multikultureller Identitäten in Israel tragen dazu bei, dass sich Erinnerungsdiskurse verändern. Die Beiträger*innen illustrieren Kontexte, in denen das Konzept des geteilten Erbes als Antwort auf solche Dynamisierungen fungiert. Anhand von Fallbeispielen aus Deutschland und Israel erläutern sie den Umgang mit Formen des kulturellen Erbes wie Architektur, Denkmäler und Gedenkstätten, Archive, Museen, Theater und Orchester und bieten eine Synopse, die Chancen und Grenzen des Konzepts kritisch abwägt.
The Autobiography of Solomon Maimon
The first complete and annotated English translation of Maimon's influential and delightfully entertaining memoir.

Born into a down-on-its-luck provincial Jewish family in 1753, Maimon quickly distinguished himself as a prodigy in learning.
