Virtual SHIUR: Radical Discourses

About virtual shiur

The SHIUR Global Discourse Lab is an innovative online course series designed to foster meaningful intellectual engagement and global connections within the SHIUR community. This virtual learning platform invites new and existing members to participate in dynamic, interactive discussions, enriching their understanding of diverse topics while creating lasting connections across borders.

Each course is structured as an interactive, live video session, allowing participants to engage in deep discussions with peers in an intimate and intellectually stimulating environment. By joining the Discourse Lab, participants not only gain knowledge but also become part of a global network of thinkers, scholars, and community members passionate about learning and dialogue.

  • Each course consists of live, interactive video sessions, fostering engaging discussions in a collaborative online setting. Over the span of five weeks, participants will meet once per week for 60-minute sessions. With cohort sizes of 8 to 12 participants, each session maintains an intimate atmosphere, ensuring meaningful exchanges and strong community connections.

  • Standard Course Price: $290 for a 6-week course

    Discounts available for students, groups, SHIUR community members.

  • We explore themes and topics through text-based discourse, collectively engaging with primary sources that lie at the heart of contemporary issues. From this foundation, we develop new perspectives and insights.

    We draw on theory, philosophy, literature, and a wide range of texts—classical and contemporary, traditional and unconventional, from diverse canons. We believe that the way these texts "interact" with one another—and with our participants—can illuminate new ways of thinking and deepen our understanding of important topics. Ultimately, enabling us to act effectively and impact our world.

    We are currently offering two series:

    1. Contemporary Antisemitism Series 

    2. Peace in the Middle East: New Perspectives for Solving New Problems
