בהנחיית ד"ר דני שרירא ופרופ' אנה שטרנסיס (אוניברסיטת טורונטו)
I am also interested in questions of genre, authority, heritage, and nostalgia as they arise in personal narratives.
In addition to my work on verbal performances, I have worked with visual and folk art, as well as theater, and the interface between all these different types of cultural expression; language(s) as a tool for creating, expressing, and contesting identity; and the politics of the folklore and heritage discourses.
I am completing my doctorate under the guidance of Dr. Dani Schrire at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Prof. Anna Shternshis at the University of Toronto.
