Kenneth Stein, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Contemporary Middle Eastern History, Political Science, and Israeli Studies. He earned his doctorate from University of Michigan and taught at Emory from 1977 to 2022.
This event is made possible by the generosity of Debby and David Zieff.
From January 1977 until December 2022, when he became an Emeritus Professor, Ken Stein had taught Middle Eastern History, Political Science, and Israel Studies to more than 5800 students over 44 years. Presently he is the Founding President of the Center for Israel Education (CIE) and its Chief Content Officer. At Emory University in 1998, he established The Emory Institute for the Study of Modern Israel (ISMI), then the first permanent Institute or Center in the U.S. created exclusively for the study of modern Israel. Growing from the public outreach of ISMI in the early 2000s, which initiated Jewish educator seminars and curriculum writing, he founded CIE in 2008, to focus exclusively on educational enrichment for Jewish educators, rabbis, non-Jewish clergy, students, and young adults. The CIE website began in December 2015 with 500 users that month; in the last week of September 2023, there were 50,000 users to the website, with more than 15% of its users were Spanish readers.
