Brian Horowitz holds the Sizeler Family Chair of Jewish Studies and serves as Professor in both the Department of Jewish Studies and Linguistics at Tulane University. He earned his PhD and MA in Slavic Languages and Literatures from UC Berkeley and BA from NYU. His scholarship focuses on Jewish-Russian intellectual history, Zionist political thought, and Eastern European Jewish culture.
Horowitz's extensive publication record includes monographs such as Jewish Philanthropy and Enlightenment in Late-Tsarist Russia (2009) and Empire Jews: Jewish Nationalism and Acculturation in Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century Russia (2009). His research examines Jewish identity formation, nationalist movements, and cultural intersections across Eastern Europe and Israel. Current projects investigate intellectual biographies, Zionist political paradigms, and Jewish literary representations in Soviet contexts.
Analysis of his scholarly output reveals deep engagement with political Zionism, Russian-Jewish historiography, and literary representations of Jewish identity. Recent works demonstrate methodological innovation in biographical studies and critical analysis of nationalist movements. His publications frequently utilize archival materials to reconstruct intellectual networks and ideological developments.
