Judith Shuval (Hebrew: יהודית שובל; born 1926) is an Israeli professor emerita of sociology who taught at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specializing in public health and immigration.
Judith Tannenbaum Shuval was born in 1926 in New York City. She attended Hunter College and later earned a bachelor's degree from the Jewish Theological Seminary.[1] In 1949, she immigrated to Israel and worked at the Israel Institute of Applied Social Research. She completed her Ph.D. in sociology from Radcliffe College at Harvard University in 1955. That same year, she was appointed an adviser on immigrant absorption for UNESCO.
Shuval was hired by the Hebrew University in Jerusalem as a lecturer in sociology in 1968. She eventually became the Louis and Pearl Rose Professor of Medical Sociology. During the 1978–1979 academic year, and again in 1981, she was a visiting professor of sociology at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
She also represented Israel at the European Society for Health and Medical Sociology in 1983 and served as chairwoman of the Israeli Sociological Association from 1986 to 1988.
Shuval retired in 1994.
