The Helen Diller Institute for Jewish Law and Israel Studies and the Graduate School of Education at the University of California, Berkeley are hosting a half-day symposium to explore insights from the Israeli context on controversial issues in citizenship education. The extreme challenges of discussing controversial issues have led to increased attention in the educational research and policies of many countries around the world, including Israel and the United States, as to the possible purposes, pedagogies, and products of citizenship education.
