I am a researcher and writer based in Berlin. I was born in the Soviet Union and moved to Israel after its fall in 1990. I completed a BA in Film and Television Studies at Tel Aviv University in 2007 and later earned a master’s degree in Religion in Culture from Humboldt University in 2021. My academic background also includes studies in cultural studies and TV journalism at Tel Aviv University and the University of Copenhagen.

Before transitioning into academia, I worked in youth exchange programs between Israel and Bavaria, as well as initiatives fostering exchanges between Europe and the SWANA region. I have taught courses in gender and religion at Humboldt University in the Department of Gender Studies and European Ethnology, as well as in the sociology of gender at the University of Potsdam.

My research explores the entanglements of race, gender, sexuality, and state power, with a focus on European border politics, securitization, and philosemitism. I critically examine how anti-Semitism and anti-Palestinian racism function within institutional and political frameworks, exploring the role of knowledge production in shaping racialized belonging and exclusion. Gender is a central aspect of both my research and activism.

I am fluent in English, German, Russian, and Hebrew, with beginner proficiency in French, Danish, and Arabic. I contribute to both academic and public discourse, engaging with decolonial, feminist, and queer perspectives on Jewish identity, memory politics, and state violence.

Beyond my academic work, I am engaged in solidarity networks that challenge dominant narratives and advocate for collective liberation.
