Modern Jewish-Argentine Literature: Reconsidering the Canons
[ Programs ]
In 2013, the Posen Foundation initiated the Posen Society of Fellows, a competitive international fellowship, designed to support emerging scholars of Jewish Studies.
Each year, the Posen Foundation inducted six new fellows, whose research deals with modern Jewish history and culture, with fellows selected from around the world.
Fellows received a two-year grant worth $40,000 towards the completion of their doctoral dissertation and were invited to convene each summer to discuss their research and writing, and learn from an elite group of Jewish Studies scholars.
Since 2021 the program is closed.
