CSA Post doctoral fellow
Gustavo Guzmán, PhD
Dr. Gustavo Guzmán is a historian specializing in antisemitism and Jewish history in Latin America. He is currently a Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter (Research Associate) at the Institute for Latin American Studies, Free University of Berlin. He holds a PhD in History from Tel Aviv University (2021), where he completed his dissertation under the supervision of Prof. Raanan Rein.
His first book, Attitudes of the Chilean Right toward Jews: From Acceptable Undesirables to Respected Businessmen (Brill, 2022), examines how diverse right-wing actors in Chile related to Jews throughout the twentieth century, challenging the tendency to focus exclusively on the far right. His forthcoming monograph, Allende, Pinochet, and the Jews (Routledge, 2026), explores the place of Jews in the political imaginaries of Chile’s rival Cold War regimes.
Dr. Guzmán’s research has been recognized with the Robert Wistrich Prize for Postgraduate Research in Antisemitism from the Vidal Sassoon International Center (Hebrew University of Jerusalem), as well as awards from the Stephen Roth Institute and the Kantor Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry (Tel Aviv University). His current project investigates antisemitism and philosemitism across twentieth-century Latin America.
CSA Post doctoral Associate
Tessa Harmon, PhD
Dr. Tessa Harmon is a scholar of religion whose work examines the entanglements of race, religion, and nationalism in the development of white nationalist ideology in the United States. She recently completed her PhD on the religious and philosophical foundations of the “white genocide” myth at the University of California, Riverside, tracing its roots through modern Aryanism and antisemitic historical revisionism. At the Center, she will focus on preparing her first book manuscript based on this research while also launching a new project that examines the intersections between far-right and far-left forms of antisemitism in contemporary U.S. political culture.
