Dr Netta Cohen (University of Oxford)

This talk is situated at the intersection of modern Jewish history, climate and environmental history, history of expertise, and colonial history and it focuses on the role of climate – as an abstract concept and a concrete condition - in shaping Jewish national, racial, cultural, and spatial identity in Palestine from the establishment of the Zionist Organisation in 1897 to the founding of the State of Israel in 1948.
