Ronit Lentin was born in Haifa in 1944, prior to the establishment of the State of Israel, and has lived in Ireland since 1969. She is a political sociologist and a writer of fiction and non-fiction books. She is Head of Sociology, the director of the MPhil in Race, Ethnicity, Conflict, Department of Sociology and founder member of the Trinity Immigration Initiative, Trinity College, Dublin. Lentin has published extensively on racism and identity in Ireland, Israel and Palestine and on gender and genocide and the Holocaust. While an exploration of 'identity' forms a key part of her academic work, one self-declared aspect of her own identity is as being an Irish Jew.^[1]
