BIO

Originally from Vermont, I migrated around various parts of the world before settling with my family in northern Israel.

My academic background is in History and Political Science: B.A. and M.A. from McGill University (Montréal) and Ph.D. from Georgetown University (Washington, D.C.).

I have always been fascinated by language, thought patterns, and the interaction between texts and beliefs – and my historical research continues to explore these themes.
