Description
The Hadassah-Brandeis Institute (HBI) at Brandeis University supports research and artistic projects in Jewish women’s and gender studies across disciplines. Funded by gifts from the HBI Board of Advisors, the awards support graduate students, early-career researchers, established scholars and professionals, as well as activists, writers and artists pursuing questions significant to Jewish gender studies.
Projects should have the potential to contribute significantly by using gender to inform Jewish studies, bringing Jewish studies insights into women’s and gender studies, or exploring interreligious collaborations between Jewish women and women of other faiths. Creative work may include writing, film and video, performance arts, and visual arts, but must address gender.
