DESCRIPTION:Since 2009\, the civic education curriculum for high schools i
 n Israel has been often at the center of a heated political debate that sp
 an well beyond the pedagogical and educational discourses. I will use the 
 case of the debate over the civic curriculum in Israel and the changes tha
 t were implemented in the past five years\, to examine the influence of th
 e rise of the populist right in Israel on educational discourses. In parti
 cular\, I will critically explore how the meaning of the ‘political’ a
 nd what is considered politically legitimate and desirable in the educatio
 n system in Israel\, have changed over the years as a result of broader po
 litical and socio-economic pressures. \n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nHalleli Pi
