About

I studied English and American Literatures and Psychology for my BA degree, and then continued with Communication Studies for my MA and PhD degrees.
I've been an activist for LGBT rights since 1983 and served as the Executive Director of the Israeli LGBT organization in the early 1990s.
I published some fifty articles in Israeli and international peer-reviewed journals, as well as six books, the latest (with S. Barak—Brandes): Feminist Interrogations of Women's Head Hair: Crown of Glory and Shame. My recent areas of interest include gay tourism and cultural manifestations of the body.
