Izabella Tabarovsky
Z3 Institute Senior Fellow
The Z3 Project, OFJCC

Izabella Tabarovsky examines how Soviet propaganda shaped the ideological language of contemporary antizionism, how its legacy continues to shape discourse about Israel and Jews today and how Soviet Jewish models of courage and defiance can inform responses to antisemitism on campus and beyond. She is the author of Be a Refusenik: A Jewish Student’s Survival Guide and a sought-after international speaker.

She has lectured at universities, policy forums and national institutions in the United States and abroad, including Georgetown University, the London School of Economics, and Yad Vashem; delivered a keynote at the Parliament of Finland; and testified before the U.S. Helsinki Commission.

She is a Senior Fellow at the Z3 Institute (Palo Alto) and a Fellow, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars (Washington, DC), the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism and Comper Center for the Study of Antisemitism and Racism, University of Haifa.

A contributing writer at Tablet, she has also published in Newsweek, Sapir, Quillette and Fathom. She has appeared on the Haviv Rettig Gur’s Ask Haviv podcast, Wondering Jews with Noam Weissman and Michal Bitton and the Karol Markowicz Show, among others.

Her essays appear in multiple edited volumes published by Routledge, Academic Studies Press and others. Her work has been translated into numerous languages.
