Document:
I study modern Jewish history with a particular interest in the political, intellectual, and cultural history of Jews in 19th- and 20th-century Russia, Poland, interwar Palestine, and Israel. My primary interests include the history of Jewish social and political thinking in the 20th century, particularly Jewish conceptions of the state, capitalism, nation, and race between the two world wars; the history and sociology of Jewish nationalism; Yiddish and Hebrew culture and the Jewish encounter with ideas of secular culture and aesthetic culture; theory and practice of cultural history. I am currently working on a book entitled The Unchosen People: the Polish Jewish Condition and the Jewish Political Imagination, 1928-1939.
Along with Tony Michels (UW-Madison) and Sarah Abrevaya Stein (UCLA), I am co-editor of the journal Jewish Social Studies: History, Culture, Society (The New Series).
My book Jewish Renaissance in the Russian Revolution (Harvard, 2009) has been accepted for publication in Hebrew translation by the Zalman Shazar Center. Finally, I am co-editing, with Professor Yisrael Bartal, v. 7 of the Posen Library of Jewish Culture and Civilization: Anthology of Primary Sources, Documents, Texts, and Artifacts in 10 Volumes, v.
