A new promotional video
We have an urgent need for a new language, an up-to-date view, solutions that have not yet been tried and gone stale.
The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute offers a different way of asking the questions. It is an academy, but of a different nature.
The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute fosters interdisciplinary research in the humanities and social sciences out of a commitment to a just and open society, integrated in the region. The Institute addresses issues at the center of the public agenda: secularity in a post-secular society, post-capitalism, globalization, Israel and the Middle East, the relationship between science, technology and civilization, gender and feminism, and issues concerning the challenge of shared living. The Institute, in all of its activities, is committed to human diversity. The Van Leer Institute Press publishes research and nonfiction books, policy studies and position papers on social and humanistic subjects. The Institute also houses the Polonsky Academy, an intellectual home for 25 outstanding postdoctoral students from Israel and abroad.
Every year the Institute holds dozens of events for the general public, including online events, free of charge.
We are back to activities at the Institute! For updates, follow our Facebook and YouTube pages.
