Tamar Mayer is the Robert R. Churchill Professor Emerita of Geosciences at Middlebury College, in VT. She is a feminist political geographer and the past director (2012-2020) of both the Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs and the Program in International and Global Studies at Middlebury College, in VT.
For more than a decade she also directed the Program in Modern Hebrew and Israeli Society. Her research interests lie in the interplay among nationalism, homeland, and memory, with a special focus on stateless ethnic nations, specifically Jews pre-statehood, Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, and the Uighurs in Xinjiang, China. She is the editor or co-editor of seven books that focus on different dimensions of international and global crises, the most recent of which is Displacement, Belonging and Migrant Agency in the Face of Power (Routledge 2022). As a visiting Scholar at Brandeis University, she will take part in Consortium research on the topic of antisemitism.
