Teaching and research interests

Teaching and researching concerned with the key notion of 'memory' - explores the mediations of memory, conflict and war in cultural forms. In particular interested in local/from below 'hi/stories', youth and alternative education, art, ethnography, social interaction, 'agonistic debate' and change. Field and case studies often come from Israel-Palestine and Germany. My PhD was on alternative youth education and conflict coping among Jews and Palestinan Arabs in Israel.
