Professor Gil Ribak was awarded the “Social Relevance of the Humanities” residential fellowship by the Center for Advanced Study, Sofia, Bulgaria, where he resided for three months in 2024. Ribak is the Shirley D. Curson Associate Professor of Judaic Studies at the University of Arizona. While there are many studies of antisemitism, his research reverses the perspective and examines how the Jewish minority viewed the surrounding majority, as well as various ethnic and racial groups within that majority both in East Europe and the United States. He is the recipient of numerous fellowships, including the European Union’s Marie S. Curie Senior Fellowship at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (2021-2022) and a research fellowship by the Gerda Henkel Foundation (2022).
