The program he developed from 1983, based on ten volumes of introduction he wrote himself, was recognized in 2007 by the Higher Education Council of Israel as a BA program in "the Middle East and its Cultures". It combines the study of the history of Arab-Islamic societies with those of other societies in the region. Erlich heads a committee at the Open University, tasked with facilitating studies for Arab students; in this context, he is also in charge of translating ten of the courses in various fields into Arabic. In the Open University he also developed Ethiopian studies and for the purpose wrote three introductory books in Hebrew.〔(Erlich CV )〕 〔Israel Gershoni, "Honoring Haggai Erlich" In: Israel Gershoni and Meir Hatina (eds.), ''Narrating the Nile: Politics, Cultures, Identities - Essays in Honor of Haggai Erlich'', Lynne Rienner Publishers, Boulder, 2008.(pp. 233 - 239)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Haggai Erlich」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
