I am a researcher and M.A. student in Communication at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.My thesis, Regulation of Speech in and by Israeli Academic Institutions, examines how Israeli universities regulate speech, protest, and political expression. It focuses on policy and procedural changes after October 7, 2023, in the context of intensified political persecution of Palestinian citizens of Israel, both on and off campus.My professional background is in human rights research using open-source intelligence (OSINT) techniques to investigate Jewish extremists, harmful online activity, and anti-gender movements both in Israel and abroad.I have also worked across reproductive justice, LGBTQ+ advocacy, and Israeli-Palestinian solidarity, with a focus on supporting communities and movements working toward equality and social change.My broader interests include political communication, ontologies, knowledge graphs, anti-gender movements, religious fundamentalism, reactionary politics, and the networks linking political ideas, actors, and movements across contexts.
