Lectures/Conferences/Workshops
UCLA’s Leve Center for Jewish Studies hosts diverse public lectures and conferences on North African and its Jewish communities. These meetings further an academic conversation between our faculty and students and provide an opportunity for the broader community to learn more about the region and its cultures. We partner with other centers and departments at UCLA, as well as with institutions and universities across Los Angeles and California to highlight the diversity of Jewish communities in the Middle East and North Africa. We are proud to host scholars from North Africa through partnerships with other universities and colleges in California and across the United States to allow students to engage with and learn from indigenous scholars and experts. With the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, we have organized two path-breaking, international conferences that explore hitherto untouched aspects of North African Studies, Jewish studies, Holocaust studies and African studies. Our events are always free and open to the public and draw hundreds of attendees in person and many more via online content.
