David N. Myers

Myers then wrote a short synthesis on Jewish history as part of the Oxford University Press VSI series.

His next book, The Stakes of History, was a reflection on the historian and historiographical practice that was initially delivered as the Franz Rosenzweig Lectures at Yale in 2014.

Already in the early 2000s, Myers began to develop a scholarly interest in the history and politics of Haredi communities, especially Kiryas Joel, New York.

At present, Myers is working on a research project devoted to mid-twentieth-century population displacements through the lens of political and affective history.

[7] [8][9][10][11] The right-wing Middle East Forum opined "Myers may present a moderate façade, but his academic & political affiliations expose his radical core."

Despite the attacks by groups associated with the Israeli right, Jewish studies scholars in the United States largely rallied behind Myers.

He also has served as an instructor for the Wexner Heritage Foundation, and writes frequently on matters of contemporary Jewish concern.
