Norman Itzkowitz (May 6, 1931 – January 20, 2019) was an American academic who was a professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University.
While doing this, he assisted the students in developing leadership skills in running the social, cultural, and academic aspects of the college's life.
Much of Itzkowitz's work is collaborative, he did much of his studies with Robert Roswell Palmer, Gordon Craig, Cyril E. Black, his Ottoman history mentor Lewis V. Thomas and psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Vamık Volkan.
Itzkowitz claimed to have told an Armenian-American student and descendant of genocide survivors that his "granny's got nothing better to do but sit at home and fill you full of this stuff".
Princeton Vice President & Secretary Emeritus Thomas H. Wright released a letter stating the university is opposed to anti-Armenian remarks and behavior, in response to Itzkowitz's statements.
