Scholarship and Biography

Continue to develop courses in Israel Studies from undergraduate to graduate level; continue to expand teaching of faculty across country and from abroad through the Brandeis University Summer Institute for Israel Studies that now conducts workshops outside the summer. I am engaged in new research on how different peoples claim land, a study that focuses on Israel but in a comparative perspective.
