About me

I lead and coordinate education and the pedagogical development of education. I have been working as the Vice Dean for Education at the Faculty of Social Sciences (TAU) since 2021. I have been the academic director of the International Master’s Program in Social Science Research since 2019. I served as the program head of the Degree Programme in Social Research from 2016 to 2021.

I am interested in human agency, identities, gender, and sexualities. The unifying factor of my research is the social use of language and its consequences. My expertise stems from social psychology. I defended my doctoral dissertation in 2005, and I have been working as a university lecturer in social psychology since 2011. Prior to this, I worked for years in various research, teaching, and expert positions both at the university and in the private and non-profit sectors.

I teach discourse analysis and social psychology theories to master degree students. Additionally, I oversee multidisciplinary project work that develops professional skills.

I am a developer, I enjoy experimenting, and I get excited about new things!
