About me

Human geographer.

In my dissertation work A new storm over the Naqab: the temporality of space in Israeli settler colonialism (2023) I investigated contemporary settler colonialism and how the Zionist settler project advances in southern Israel through Jewish settlements but also through the regulation of animal husbandry. Animal husbandry, in turn, is intimately connected to the forest planting that has been part of the creation of the state of Israel. I mainly work with qualitative methods, but I am also interested in satellite image analysis and qualitative social science research.
