About
Dr. Amir Reicher is a social anthropologist specializing in the settlement project in the occupied territories. His research lies at the intersection of political anthropology, the anthropology of religion, and critical theory. He received his PhD in Anthropology from the City University of New York (2023) and was a postdoctoral fellow in the Martin Buber Society of Fellows at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (2023?2025). Dr. Reicher has published several articles dealing with questions of messianism, post-messianism, violence, and existential disappointment. Among other things, he is interested in what people do after the messiah does not arrive. His next research project is expected to focus on a godforsaken town in North Texas, USA.
Dr. Reicher would be happy to supervise students working on a wide range of topics and approaches.
