About

I am an Associate Professor at the Seymour Fox School of Education at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where I serve as Co-Head of the Undergraduate Program in Educational and Social Leadership.

A former high school civics teacher, I earned my Ph.D. in Social Studies Education from Teachers College, Columbia University (2013) and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Melton Centre for Jewish Education at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (2013–2014). I have taught in several teacher education programs, including at Tel Aviv University and the Kibbutzim College of Education (2010–2016).

My research focuses on the intersections of civic education, social justice, and multicultural education, examining how democratic citizenship is conceptualized, taught, and experienced in diverse and conflict-affected educational contexts.
