Joshua Teitelbaum spoke several times during the first semester on intellectual trends on American campuses to students in the pre-collegiate program at Midreshet Lindenbaum in Jerusalem. He also participated in the year-long workshop on radical Islamic ideology organized by the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya’s Institute for Policy and Strategy and the Institute-sponsored Herzliya Conference in January 2007. In October 2006 he spoke on “Israel’s Strategic Situation after the Second Lebanon War” at San Francisco State University. During the second semester he was on leave at Stanford University, where he was Schusterman Visiting Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science, and the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law (CDDRL), of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. While at Stanford, Teitelbaum taught one course on Palestinian nationalism and the Arab-Israeli conflict, and another, with CDDRL Director Prof. Michael McFaul, on dictatorship and democracy in the Middle East. At CDDRL he gave a seminar lecture on “Tribalism and the Saudi State.” For the Stanford community, he gave a course on Zionism at Stanford Hillel, and spoke widely at synagogues and other venues in the San Francisco Bay Area. In April 2007 he spoke on “Delegitimizing Israel” to the board of the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee in Seattle, and in May he returned to Seattle to lecture on Saudi Arabia and Israel at the University of Washington’s Jackson School of International Studies. In July he spoke on the historical background of the Arab-Israeli conflict to the Diller Teen Fellows Summer Seminar of the Nesiya Institute. The Encyclopaedia Britannica published his entry, "Saudi Arabia," in late 2006.
