THE NEW MAYBERG CENTER for Jewish Education and Leadership—made possible by a generous gift from the Mayberg Family Foundation—links academic scholarship with the work of Jewish organizations on GW’s campus, throughout Washington, D.C., and nationwide. The center is housed in the Graduate School of Education and Human Development (GSEHD), and will provide graduate professional development, workshops, and public programs in Jewish education with a focus on pedagogy and leadership training. Center Director Erica Brown designs and teaches courses in education and Jewish studies. She is also building a research agenda and connecting Jewish education to GSEHD’s broader interests in multicultural, religious, and pluralist education. Author of 11 books, Brown holds advanced degrees in education and Jewish studies and has held leadership positions in many Jewish nonprofit organizations. She shares some insights into her goals for the center and current partnerships and research initiatives.
