The Y&S Nazarian Center sponsors research colloquia for scholars from diverse disciplines as well as public conferences that foster new perspectives on Israel and brings them to faculty, students and the greater Los Angeles community and beyond.

Research Colloquium on Democracy in Israel The colloquium will bring together an invited group of scholars from diverse disciplines – History, Law, Political Science, Sociology, and Philosophy – to present and discuss critical topics of democracy in Israel. A total of three research meetings via Zoom are planned from January-May 2021. The colloquium will run with three single day invitation-only events and conclude when the final papers resulting from the research meetings are published in an edited volume.
