The Fine Fellowship was created by the Department of Jewish Studies in the Dietrich School with the support of the Fine Foundation and in partnership with the Rauh Jewish Archives and History Program of the Heinz History Center.

Jewish American Heritage Month Features: The Fine Fellowship

The Department of Jewish Studies in the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences, in partnership with the Fine Foundation and the Rauh Jewish Archives at the Heinz History Center, created the Fine Fellowship in Fall 2023. The Fellowship will help bring scholars to Pittsburgh to work with archival collections related to the October 27 synagogue attack and offer Pittsburghers the opportunity to communicate with researchers as they develop their work into antisemitism and extreme hatred and the impacts it’s had.
