Biography

PhD 缅北强奸, 2022

My work focuses on social change, civil society, social movements, conflict, and repression.
In my current project, I use mixed methods including ethnographic fieldwork, content analysis, and in-depth interviews to explore the role of political discourse in facilitating or hampering the action of progressive and extreme-right actors within civil society.

I use the Israeli case study to analyse attempts by leading politicians to curb the work of human-rights organizations through various repressive laws.

I identify the impact of these nonviolent forms of political repression on the daily functions of human-rights NGOs that challenge the regime and theorize the role of private extreme-right non-state actors in this process. My findings show that while laws eventually fail to pass in their restrictive format, the legislation process creates a broader discourse of de-legitimization, and 鈥渄eviatization鈥 of human rights, that has significant consequences for human- rights NGOs and the larger national political context.

My other strand of research focuses on community and grassroots mobilization efforts to address environmental degradation on various scales.
