About

Between 2020-2023 I was the head of the Department of Multidisciplinary Social Sciences at the Academic College of Emek yezrael and the Mashiv HaRuach Humanities Program. Since the year 2000 I have been a member of the academic staff of the Department of Communications, and from 2021-2015 I was the head of the B.A. Honors Program at the College. During most of these years, I served as the Advisor for Student Affairs. Between 2011-2020 I was a member of the board of directors and the board of trustees of the college. Before my academic career, I taught physics and math in elementary schools for about 20 years and filled various management positions in the public education system. I hold a bachelor's degree in communication from the College of Management, a master's degree in political communication from Tel Aviv University, and a doctorate in humanities from the Shirley and Leslie Porter School of Cultural Studies at Tel Aviv University. In addition to my academic work, I also ran several political campaigns, and was a founding partner of the Kol Rega radio station. I teach courses, seminars, and workshops in the fields of philosophy and culture, political communication, and interpersonal communication. I am married to Udi, the mother of Yael and Noga, and the grandmother of Noam, Ella, Uri, and Yuval 


 

Areas of interest

My research deals mainly in cultural criticism and examining cultural concepts such as happiness, loneliness, success, suffering, and shame, among others. I focus on the changes that these cultural concepts have undergone and are still undergoing in the digital age. In parallel, I am interested in the genealogical research of cultural concepts rooted in Western religion such as perceptions of time, the idea of judgment, and more. My book, The Failure of Success, was published in 2016 by Resling Press
