Liora Halperin, Princeton University
I am an Assistant Professor of Near Eastern Studies and Judaic Studies at Princeton University, where I teach courses on Israel/Palestine, Modern Jewish History, and Middle Eastern History.
I received my Ph.D. in UCLA's history department. Trained in modern Jewish and Middle Eastern History and focusing on the history of Palestine and Israel, my research deals with cultural history, language ideology and policy, and the politics surrounding nation formation in the Jewish community of Palestine (the Yishuv) in the years leading up to the creation of the State of Israel in 1948.
In 2011-2012 I was the Blaustein Postdoctoral Fellow in Judaic Studies at Yale University.
I received my undergraduate degree at Harvard in History and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations and have held additional visiting affiliations at U.C. Berkeley, the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and Harvard.
