Teaching

Aviv Cohen, Teaching

I view education as both a pathway to democratic engagement and a space where social inequalities can be challenged. My teaching emphasizes critical inquiry, self-reflection, and active citizenship, drawing on students’ diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Using ethnographic and qualitative approaches, I bridge theory and practice, encouraging students to analyze civic education critically and explore their role in shaping more inclusive democratic societies.

Undergraduate program in educational and social leadership

This specialization offers a unique and prestigious framework for students interested in advancing initiatives in public arenas in general, and in education systems in particular. The program's starting point is the understanding that social leaders must possess knowledge, vision, and a broad perspective in their field of activity, be attentive to changes both within and outside their organization, and have the ability to drive processes and lead creative and responsible initiatives. In line with this approach, the program integrates diverse content areas grounded in two disciplines: political science and education. It combines mandatory and general studies in political science and education with specialized courses exclusive to students in the specialization.
