Educational Theory and Jewish Studies in Conversation: From Volozhin
to Buczacz, by Harvey Shapiro, PhD, brings together two different
fields of study—modern Jewish studies and contemporary educational
theory—to provide new theoretical frameworks for their interaction.
Although Jewish studies and education programs at secular universities
have joined denominational and transdenominational institutions of
higher learning in adopting a dual or parallel course structure, there
has been little scholarly attention given to the basis for doing so.
Shapiro provides alternative theoretical frameworks for the
relationship between Jewish studies and educational theory and
discusses different ways of developing and articulating these
relationships between disciplines. Shapiro shows what is at stake when
students and faculty think and communicate together across
discourses—in particular, between the fields of education and Jewish
studies. Presenting an alternative to conventional notions of
interdisciplinarity, this book’s import extends to virtually all
relationships between the humanities and professional education when
these different discourses illuminate and challenge one another.
