Professional
info
Born in 1986, I am a researcher, guide, lecturer, social activist, youth leader and writer based in Haifa, Israel.
I guide historical, social, cultural, and political walking tours, mainly in Haifa, and lecture about different aspects of queer and LGBT+ history, culture, and politics - from a queer Hebrew dialect to the LGBT+ history of capitalism. Both walking tours and talks are detailed here.
As a researcher, I specialize in the histories of sexualities, LGBTQ+ & queer histories, and the urban history of Haifa. As detailed in the projects section, I am a co-leader of the “Haifa Queer History Project”, a research and documentation project of the histories of LGBT+ people in the city of Haifa, from the beginning of the 20th century to present day. Additionaly, I currently research the history of homosexuality on the Kibbutz in the first decades of the state of Israel.
