Adam louis-klein

Adam Louis-Klein is a writer, anthropologist, and musician, currently completing a PhD in Anthropology at McGill University. His work explores Jewish peoplehood, Zionism, and contemporary forms of anti-Jewish hate, drawing connections between civilizational identity, recursive ethnography, and the politics of indigeneity.

He is a regular contributor to The Times of Israel, where he writes on Jewish continuity, media distortions of Zionism, and the symbolic structure of anti-Jewish hate. He has also written for The Free Press and Tablet. His essays seek to clarify, defend, and rearticulate Jewish identity in a time of rising hostility, offering rigorous critiques of the conceptual frameworks that underlie contemporary antizionist discourse.

His doctoral research is based on fieldwork in the Vaupés region of the Amazon with the Desana people, where he studies cosmology, translation, and ethnoreligious identity. He draws comparative insights between Desana and Jewish forms of peoplehood, engaging deeply with questions of sovereignty, sacred geography, and analogic thought.

Adam also holds a B.A. in Philosophy from Yale, an M.A. in Philosophy from the New School, and an M.A. in Anthropology from the University of Chicago. He is co-director of Oscillations: Non-Standard Experiments in Anthropology, the Social Sciences, and Cosmology, a platform for plural and civilizational modes of thought. He is a Postgraduate Fellow at the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism.
