About Me
Associate Professor in the Gender Studies Program at Bar-Ilan University.
My research focuses on a field called the geographies of sexualities, which explores the connections and mutual construction of space (physical, emotional, social, symbolic, and virtual) and LGBTQ+ subjectivities. I have conducted several research projects on homonationalism, queer safe space, LGBTQ+ politics, pride parades and activism, LGBTQ+ political subjectivities, LGBT-phobia, and sexual harassment.
In 2026 I founded the Israeli Association for LGBT-Queer research. The association was established to provide an interdisciplinary academic home for research related to LGBTQ+ issues and queer theory in Israel.
Geographies of sexualities: Space, sexuality and gender; Urban and rural geographies of sexuality; Activism and space
Sexuality and nationalism: Homonationalism; Sexual citizenship; Identity politics
Affects in cultural theory: Affect theory; Shame theory (queer theory); Politics of belonging
Qualitative methodologies: Feminist methodologies; Queer methodologies, Ethnography
