Major scholarly fields of interest:
Diaspora Studies; Israel-Diaspora Relations; Latin American Studies; Digital Research Tools; Research Transparency and Replicability.
Current Projects:
I study diaspora politics in general and Israel's relationship with the Jewish diaspora in particular. At the Jacob Robinson Institute, I will investigate the rights and services that the State of Israel has offered to or withheld from people living outside its territory. My research will focus on changes and variation over time in the attitudes of Israeli political actors toward Jews, Israelis, and non-Jewish non-Israelis abroad.
