Learning About Learning: Conversations with Scholars of Jewish Education

Sponsored by the Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel Center for Studies in Jewish Education at Brandeis University, Leaning About Learning draws on live conversations, originally conducted as a Zoom webinars. Regular episodes feature discussions between Dr. Jon Levisohn, Director of the Mandel Center, and a single scholar about a specific piece of their research. Bonus episodes include multiple voices, often discussing a newly released book, recently held conference, or other Mandel Center event. At the Mandel Center, we are committed to advancing the field of Jewish educational scholarship, especially scholarship on teaching and learning, in order to make a deep and lasting difference on the lives of learners and the vibrancy of the Jewish community. That’s our mission. We know that there’s great scholarship being done in the field of Jewish education, but it’s not always accessible. And even when it is, it’s not always obvious why people in the field of Jewish education should care about it.That’s what this podcast is about—making really interesting scholarship on Jewish education accessible, and talking with scholars about why it matters. Thanks for being here, and we hope that you enjoy Learning About Learning as much as we do.
