I am a doctoral researcher in communication studies, focusing on digital memory, Mizrahi identity, and modes of self-expression in Israel. My research explores how marginalized communities use digital platforms to reclaim historical narratives, engage in cultural resistance, and shape alternative epistemologies. I work across historical and contemporary materials, with growing interest in how AI technologies mediate collective memory and representation. My MA thesis analyzed a Mizrahi feminist Facebook group as a site of grassroots knowledge production, affective storytelling, and visual culture. A key theoretical contribution of this project is the concept of the "Memory Enabler"—a form of digital community leadership that fosters political learning, intergenerational reflection, and memory work through care, moderation, and curation.
