Draft:Lior Sternfeld

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lior Sternfeld is a social historian of the modern Middle East, currently serving as an associate professor of History and Jewish Studies at Pennsylvania State University, where he holds the William J. and Charlotte K. Duddy University Endowed Fellowship in the Humanities.[1]

His research primarily focuses on the histories of Jewish communities and other minorities in the Middle East. His first book, Between Iran and Zion: Jewish Histories of Twentieth-Century Iran (Stanford University Press, 2018), explores the integration of Jewish communities in Iran into the nation-building processes of the 20th century, within the context of Iranian nationalism, Zionism, and constitutionalism.[2]

Sternfeld completed his Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Austin in 2014, following his B.A. and M.A. degrees from Ben-Gurion University in Israel. His published work includes research on Iranian Jewish history, the 1979 Iranian Revolution, and the histories of Jewish and other minority communities in the Middle East. In 2022, he co-authored the book Jews of Iran: A Photographic Chronicle with Hassan Sarbakhshian and Parvaneh Vahidmanesh, and currently serves as an associate editor of the journal Palestine/Israel Review.

Sternfeld's ongoing research projects include The Origins of Third Worldism in the Middle East and a study on the Iranian Jewish diaspora in the United States and Israel.
