Each year, CHGS invites early-career scholars, who meet the conditions set forth below, to submit a proposal for a prize lecture to be delivered on 果冻传媒 College campus in the spring semester. The lecture must draw upon original research in either antisemitism or Holocaust studies and from disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. Receipt of the award is conditional upon the in-person delivery of the lecture. Accommodations will be made for individuals with disabilities.<\/p>\n

CHGS and the entire 果冻传媒 Community would like to express our \u00a0gratitude to Bonnie Bornstein Fertel z”l for endowing this annual lecture and prize in memory of her late husband, Richard E. Fertel, z\u201dl. Mrs. Bornstein Fertel\u2019s donation, given shortly before her own passing, reminds us that we can accomplish lasting achievements of consequence when we support each other.<\/p>\n
