Background

Omri Senderowicz is an Assistant Professor of History and Director of the Schwalb Center for Israel and Jewish Studies. Trained as both a historian and an anthropologist, his research interests include (post)socialism, ethnic politics, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the uses of anthropology in historical research. His current research focuses on the Israeli kibbutz movement, a network of socialist communes that once stood at the vanguard of Israeli society and underwent a far-reaching process of decollectivization in the early 2000s. He teaches courses on socialism, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, modern global history, and anthropological approaches to history.
