Publications
The Working Paper series is a tangible representation of the scholarship resulting from the Tikvah Fellowships. The papers will appear in a series of publications of The Tikvah Center, including this web site, which will serve as the online platform for the series. Scholarship resulting from other Center activities, contributed by participants who are not necessarily Fellows but conforming to The Center’s mission or annual theme, will likely also be included.
