Stephen Schecter - Ph. D, sociologist, poet, lecturer, performance artist, and retired sociology professor from the Université du Québec à Montréal, Schecter has written six books, numerous essays, short stories and poems in both English and French. His book-length narrative poem, David and Jonathan (Robert Davies Publishing, Montreal, 1996), won the Montreal Jewish Public Library’s J.I. Siegal award for English literature on a Jewish theme, and was nominated as a QSPELL poetry prize finalist.

Schecter specializes in telling stories from the Hebrew Bible and offering analyses of contemporary issues from the perspective of Niklas Luhmann’s systems theory. He has delighted audiences across North America with his readings, lectures and performances. Please take a look at Schecter's book, Grasshoppers in Zion: Israel and the Paradox of Modernity - an uncompromising look at Israel’s increasingly untenable position in the Middle East.
