Acad. Quest. (2020) 33:564–571 DOI 10.1007/s12129-020-09935-1 NATIONALISM Suzanne Last Stone Accepted: 1 September 2020 / Published online: 17 October 2020 The National Association of Scholars 2020 Against all current trends—from the dismantling of the project of the Western canon to the devaluation of a liberal arts degree as a useless pursuit—in 2013, a group of Princeton alumni who had emigrated to the State of Israel established the first liberal arts college in the Jewish state. Shalem College, which will welcome its sixth class this October, was envisioned as a nation-building enterprise, paralleling the mission with which numerous American universities once identified: the preparation of leaders and citizens who could serve the nation. As the 2007 prospectus put it, Shalem was envisioned as a “College of the Jewish People,” a college that would raise up a “different kind of Israeli and Jewish leadership.” The nation-building model of college education traditionally sought to create future leaders in the political and cultural sphere of the nation-state by exposing students to Western moral and political philosophy, to literature and the arts, and to other disciplines collectively known as the “humanities,” as well as to the cultural resources of their own particular national tradition.
