Academic year 2011-2012
Tikvah Fellows Workshops
The single most important feature of the Tikvah Fellowship Program is the Fellows Workshop Series – it is the vehicle through which work is presented and discussed, and encapsulates the idea of the Program – the University as a community of scholars.
Each semester The Tikvah Center convenes regularly offering a space for Fellows to lecture on their research projects and receive feedback from faculty commentators, Fellows and invited guests.
