Simon Rabinovitch teaches modern Jewish and European history. He received a B.A. in History and Jewish Studies from McGill University and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Comparative History from Brandeis University. Before coming to Boston University in the fall of 2009 he spent two years as the Alexander Grass Postdoctoral Associate in Jewish History at the University of Florida. In August 2010 Boston University appointed him to a career development professorship named in honor of Peter T. Paul. Professor Rabinovitch plays hockey avidly, albeit without talent, and lives in West Roxbury with his wife, daughter, and son.
Professor Rabinovitch was recently appointed to the position of Research Fellow at the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies, at the University of Helsinki, where he will be in residence (with the whole family of course!) from August 2011 to July 2012.
