Lev Grinberg

Lev Grinberg serves as Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Ben Gurion University and holds the presidency of the Israeli Sociology Society, focusing on critical analysis of Israel/Palestine sociopolitical structures.

His academic foundation includes:

• B.A. in Political Science and Sociology from Hebrew University (1976)
• M.A. in Political Science from Hebrew University (1983)
• Ph.D. in Sociology from Tel Aviv University (1991)

Grinberg's research interrogates the History of the Zionist Labor movement, Israel's political economy, and the Sociology of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with emphasis on Social Movements and Occupy Protests. His work deconstructs discourses of war versus imagined peace, highlighting systemic failures in leadership and democratic institutions under military rule.

Publications consistently explore resistance movements, border politics, and violence-economy interplays, revealing cyclical patterns in conflict resolution attempts across 1931-2013. Key trends include cross-linguistic scholarship (Hebrew, Arabic, English) and interdisciplinary fusion of historical sociology with political economy.

Recognition includes:

• Critical Book of the Year by Critical Inquiry (2010) for Politics and Violence in Israel/Palestine
