My PhD research examines the changes in public perception of the Israeli Supreme Court since 1977, as a case study for the erosion of the legitimacy of authoritative institutions. My advisor is Prof. Eva Illouz. As I’m using sociological theories and methods to study a legal and political phenomenon, this research is interdisciplinary by nature and stands at the intersection between legal studies, political science, and sociology. In my free time, I like to read novels, practice yoga, travel, and go on hikes with my husband, Ido.
