Adam Louis-Klein
Adjunct Fellow

Adam Louis-Klein is a writer, anthropologist and public intellectual whose work focuses on Jewish peoplehood, contemporary anti-Jewish ideologies and the renewal of Jewish intellectual life. He is completing a Ph.D. in Anthropology at McGill University based on ethnographic fieldwork with the Indigenous Desana people of the Amazon. His dissertation brings Amazonian Indigenous thought into dialogue with Jewish traditions, developing a comparative account of Jewish peoplehood and indigeneity.

Louis-Klein is the founder of the Movement Against Antizionism (MAAZ) and a Postgraduate Fellow at the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism (LCSCA). His work argues that antizionism is a coherent ideological formation of anti-Jewish hate that constructs Israel and “Zionists” as inherently colonial, racist and genocidal, and he analyzes how this ideology has taken hold across academia, international institutions and political movements.

His essays have appeared in The Free Press, Sapir, Tablet and The Times of Israel, among other publications. He writes and speaks widely about antizionism, Jewish identity and the intellectual crisis that has followed October 7, advancing a renewed understanding of Jewish peoplehood and civilizational life.
