Professor Fania Oz-Salzberger is a historian of ideas and political thought, and Professor Emerita of History at the University of Haifa. She was educated at Tel Aviv University and at Oxford, where she completed her doctorate in 1991, and her work has long focused on the European Enlightenment, the translation and migration of political ideas.
Her books include Translating the Enlightenment: Scottish Civic Discourse in Eighteenth-Century Germany (Oxford, 1995), a pioneering study of how Enlightenment ideas cross linguistic and political borders, as well as Israelis in Berlin (2001) and Jews and Words (2012), co-authored with her late father, the writer Amos Oz. Alongside her home institution, she has held visiting professorships and fellowships at the Jerusalem Institute of Advanced Studis, the Wissenschaftskolleg in Berlin, Monah University, Princeton University and the LMU in Munich.
Professor Oz-Salzberger has been awarded an honorary doctorate from Uppsala University, an Order of Merit from the German government, and the Grimm Prize for her contribution to European intellectual life and cultural dialogue.
In recent years, alongside her historical scholarship, she has become an increasingly prominent public intellectual and civic voice, writing and speaking widely on democracy, nationalism, antisemitism, and the prospects of Israeli-Palestinian peace.
