About

Alice Mishkin is a postdoctoral fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan. She holds a PhD in American Culture, with a specialization in Arab and Muslim American Studies and a certificate in Judaic Studies. She also holds an MSW and a certificate in Jewish Communal Leadership from the University of Michigan.

Alice has a background in international nonprofit work, higher education administration, dialogue, and activism. Her research and her teaching grow out of these experiences, particularly her work in Palestine and Israel.

Alice’s manuscript, entitled A Very Narrow Bridge: American Jews and the Palestine Solidarity Movement, traces the political arc of the American Jewish organization IfNotNow from the summer of 2014 to the fall of 2024 as the organization navigated the boundaries of the American Jewish establishment, the American Palestine solidarity movement, and the white Christian supremacy embedded in American institutions.

When Alice is not writing, reading or thinking about her research, she can be found gardening and baking with her young children, or deep in local organizing and community building.
