I am a Full Professor in the Department of Politics and Government at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel. I completed my Ph.D. at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and conducted research as a Visiting Fellow at Harvard University and at the University of Pennsylvania. I am an elected member of the Israel Young Academy (2023-2027), and an Editorial Board Member of Political Communication (2024-2027).
My research agenda focuses on the relationships between public opinion, political participation, and representation. Specific topics within this broad research agenda include participatory inequality, citizenship norms and values, digital political participation, and the linkage mechanisms between citizen participation and policymaking. The geographic scope of this research is broadly comparative, with specific focus on political processes in the United States, Israel, and Europe. I am advancing this research agenda as the Principal Investigator of a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant project funded by the European Union, "Participation and Representation in the Digital Age" (2023-2028), grant number 101077659.
