![]() Born and raised in Israel, I received my BA in Poetics and Comparative Literature in 2001 and a Certificate in Copyediting in 2002 from Tel-Aviv University. I earned an MST in Jewish Studies from Oxford University in 2008. Currently, I am a Ph.D candidate in the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of Washington, Seattle. Completion expected in 2012. My fields of interest include Formalism-Structuralism, narrative theory, and narrative ethics on the theoretical side, and American and Jewish literature when in comes to texts. My doctoral research deals with responses to the Holocaust in Hebrew, Jewish and world literature. My dissertation explores aesthetic, ideological, and ethical dimensions of the representation of perpetrators in Hebrew and Israeli Holocaust fiction. As of September 2011, I am the Instructor of Modern Hebrew at the Department of World Languages and Literatures at Portland State University. |
