For his senior thesis research project, Adam Graubart, BA ’19, engaged with local D.C. synagogues to identify how specific congregations demonstrate their social justice values through their actions. Graubart conducted primary research through interviews and focus groups and presented his work at GW Research Days.
His final thesis, “Tzedek: DC Synagogues Building Movements for Social Justice,” won the Julian Clement Chase Prize from GW's University Writing Program. This award is given to students who present exceptional research that demonstrates engagement in the District of Columbia. Read his full thesis on the GW ScholarSpace website.
