He completed his PhD at Princeton University’s Department of History (2017), and is currently completing a book manuscript, titled German as a Jewish Problem: The Language Politics of Jewish Nationalism. He is the co-editor of the exhibition catalogue Jews, Money, Myth (Jewish Museum London, 2019). Among his published articles are: “Leon Pinsker’s Autoemancipation! and the Emergence of German as a Language of Jewish Nationalism” (Central European History, 2017), and “The Contamination of Language: George Steiner and the Postwar Fate of German and Jewish Cultures” (Sprache, Erkenntnis, und Bedeutung: Deutsch in der jüdischen Wissenskultur, eds.
