ABOUT
I am a faculty member at the Open University of Israel, Department of History, Philosophy, and Judaic Studies. A native of Israel, I completed my PhD at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (2010). In 2010-2011 I was a post-doctoral fellow at NYU, where I stayed again as a research fellow (2018-2019). My book, Palestinians in Jerusalem and Jaffa, 1948: a Tale of Two Cities, had appeared in Routledge in 2016: http://www.amazon.com/Palestinians-Jerusalem-Jaffa-1948-Arab-Israeli/dp/1138946532. My main areas of research are history of the Israeli-Arab Conflict, history of Israel, and history of the Palestinians.
