The Uprooted: Leon Roth, Richard Koebner and the circulation of knowledge between Britain and Mandatory Palestine

This lecture by Professor Arie Dubnov (The George Washington University) is part of the workshop Negotiating Refugee Identities.

Arie M. Dubnov is an essayist and historian specializing in twentieth-century Jewish and Israeli history.  Among his works are the intellectual biography Isaiah Berlin: The Journey of a Jewish Liberal  (2012) and the co-edited volume Partitions: A Transnational History of Twentieth-century Territorial Separatism (2019). He teaches at the George Washington University, where he serves as the Max Ticktin Chair of Israel Studies, and held research fellowships at the Library of Congress, the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies, the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, and the Leibniz Institute of European History in Mainz. His current research project, "Dreamers of the Third Empire/Temple," explores the ties between Zionist and British imperial thinkers in the interwar years, revealing overlooked federalist political schemes for the region's future.
