Jose Brunner
I am a Professor Emeritus at the Buchmann Faculty of Law and the Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas, both at Tel Aviv University.
I taught at Tel Aviv University from 1984 to 2018 (until 1996 in the Department of Political Science). In the course of those years, I also served as Director of the Minerva Institute for German History (2005-13), Director of the Cohn Institute (2015-18), and Director of the Eva & Marc Besen Institute for the Study of Historical Consciousness (2012-20). In 2010 I founded the Interdisciplinary Study Program for Law and the Humanities; in 2011, I co-established Israel’s first Legal Clinic for the Rights of Holocaust Survivors. From 2021 to 2023, I served as Academic Director for the Wiener Library for the Study of the Nazi Era and the Holocaust.
My areas of research are diverse. They include the relationship between law, memory, and identity; the right to the truth; the history of compensation for Holocaust survivors in Germany and Israel; the history and politics of psychoanalysis; the politics of trauma; psychological theories of Nazism, and different topics in modern and contemporary political thought.
I authored and co-authored more than 100 scientific publications on these topics, which appeared in English, German, Hebrew, Spanish, Portuguese, Greek, and Japanese, including two monographs and 14 edited volumes.
