Sam Libenson graduated from Harvard College in 2025 with a BA in social studies and philosophy and a minor in Near Eastern languages and civilizations. A student of political theory, Sam wrote an honors thesis about the persistent presence of mythology in secular political environments, focusing specifically on how certain mythologies associated with the United States Constitution inform various interpretive philosophies of the text.

Sam was awarded a Fulbright fellowship to pursue a master’s in Israel Studies at the University of Haifa where he will continue his study of political mythology by examining the mutual construction and co-development of Israeli and Palestinian identities.
