James Oigara, assistant professor in SUNY Geneseo’s Ella Cline Shear School of Education, was recently selected to participate in two fellowships.
Oigara is part of the 2025 GW Fellowship & Summer Institute on Antisemitism and Jewish Identity in Educational Settings. In June, Oigara attended a four-day workshop training at the Graduate School of Education and Human Development at the George Washington University and will attend online workshops this fall. The fellowship focuses on how to recognize, study, and teach antisemitism and foster Jewish representation within university-based schools, colleges, and departments of education and in other educational settings.
He was also recently a faculty fellow in the inaugural Immigration-Focused Faculty Fellowship Program hosted by the CUNY-Initiative on Immigration and Education. Ten faculty members from across the CUNY system participated in the program, with a focus on fostering more inclusive educational environments.
