Living Jerusalem

Founded in 1991 by Dr. Amy Horowitz, Living Jerusalem is an ongoing ethnographic engagement among Israeli, Palestinian and U.S. scholars and students. Dr. Horowitz founded the Jerusalem Project under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution Center for Folklife & Cultural Heritage. In 2001, she established the project at The Ohio State University – developing the Living Jerusalem course and study tour at a working conference with Salim Tamari, Galit Hasan-Rokem, Vered Madar, and Issam Nassar.

In 2012 – 2013, she taught the Living Jerusalem course at Indiana University. Currently she is working with Indiana University and Ohio State to expand the Living Jerusalem course and project under the auspices of Indiana University’s Center for the Study of Global Change and Center for the Study of the Middle East in cooperation with International Studies, the Mershon Center, and the Foreign Language Center at Ohio State University.
