Podcast: Israel’s Divides Explained
The course “Israel: From Idea to State” (JWSH 410), offered by Prof. Rami Zeedan, underwent a redesign in Spring 2021 with a focus on oral communication. One of the key innovations in the course is the central assignment where students produce podcast episodes. These episodes contribute to this podcast book, Israel’s Divides Explained. The podcast book serves as both a dynamic, evolving resource for the course and a vehicle for students to engage in scholarship by contributing new chapters in the form of podcast episodes, which then become readings for the next cohort of students. To listen the episodes or read the script of these chapters, please use this link: https://opentext.ku.edu/israelsdivides/
Other episodes from previous year, that were not included in the book, can be found below.
