Seth Anziska
Professor of Jewish-Muslim Relations at UCL Dept of Hebrew & Jewish Studies
Seth’s research is focused on the international history of the Middle East in the 20th century, particularly Israel and Palestine, Lebanon, and US relations with the wider region. His first book, Preventing Palestine, examined the emergence of the 1978 Camp David Accords and the consequences of international diplomacy in circumscribing Palestinian self-determination. He is also interested in archival practices and visual culture of the Middle East, the legacy of Arab-Jewish encounters in Europe and the Levant, psychoanalysis, and political violence.
