On Wednesday 21 May, CMES hosted a public talk in Lund titled Whither Israel?, featuring Swedish writer and journalist Göran Rosenberg. The well-attended event took place in the Eden Auditorium at the Department of Political Science.
Göran Rosenberg is the author of several acclaimed works, including the 2012 August Prize-winning A Brief Stop on the Road from Auschwitz. His most recent book, Another Judaism. Another Zionism. The Unrequited Love of Marcus Ehrenpreis (2021), explores early 20th-century Jewish thought and identity. His forthcoming title, Israel, a Personal History, is expected in October 2025. Rosenberg holds an honorary doctorate from the University of Gothenburg and has received multiple awards for his literary and biographical contributions.
The conversation was held with Lisa Strömbom from Lund University's Department of Political Science and was moderated by CMES Director Karin Aggestam.
The event was organized in collaboration with the Lund Association of Foreign Affairs.
