Faculty Seminars

The Mandel Center’s three annual seminars provide faculty teaching at North American colleges and universities with resource materials and suggested approaches for teaching about the Holocaust. Taught by leading figures in the field, each seminar focuses on a specific subject or historical aspect and typically engages 20 faculty members.

The Museum covers the cost of accommodation and travel for all non-local participants and provides access to its extensive library and archives. Faculty from a variety of academic disciplines are invited to apply. Learn about past seminars.
