Eli Osheroff
Eli Osheroff is an historian of the modern Middle East, with a particular focus on Arab intellectual and political history and the Zionist-Arab conflict. He completed his three degrees at the Hebrew University, where he also wrote his doctoral dissertation under the supervision of Prof. Hillel Cohen and Prof. Israel Gershoni (Tel Aviv University).
His first book is currently in preparation and deals with Arab political imagination from the end of the Ottoman period until 1948. The book focuses on the envisioned independent state of Palestine from the perspective of the Arab political class, and in the place of Jewish citizens in this future imagined sovereignty. Eli published academic articles in various international venues and in Hebrew in Theory and Criticism, the British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies and Contemporary Levant. Occasionally Eli writes about Israeli culture (for a list of publications see here).
In the Forum for Regional Thinking, Eli edits the Forum’s Hebrew and English newsletters “New in the Region”; which is our platform for addressing current affairs and everything that is pressing.
