Personal profile
Overview
My research agenda is grounded in the case of Israel/Palestine, but speaks more broadly to the study of (settler) colonial regimes and societies, paying particular attention to the dynamics of resistance within settler colonial states. Currently I am interested in tracing the practices and politics of criminalisation of political activism, by both state and non-state actors. I am writing about this in the context of the State of Israel and the UK.

Research Interests
I am part of an international network of scholars analysing the processes, strategies and tools of formal and informal criminalisation of political activism/dissent in multiple countries, that are self-defining as ‘liberal democracies’ across different continents.
