Summary of Activities and Future Plans I completed my M.A. Thesis with the Senate Excellence Award for Outstanding Research at the University of Haifa and continued to my Ph.D. studies 1995-1998.

Having a family and raising our children, I had to postpone my Ph.D. studies, which I continued ten years later in a different discipline, after years of High school teaching. I was completing my Ph.D. in 2014.

My research field examines gender and sexuality relationships in the Hebrew and Israeli societies, past and present. My research sources are mainly from the Hebrew media to examine the public discourse and social atmosphere towards different gender phenomena. I believe that such an examination allows public and personal criticism to create an egalitarian and gender-balanced society.

Currently, I am collaborating large research with Prof. Yuval Yonay from Haifa University under the issue "The Image of the Israeli Early Homosexual Society in the Hebrew Press".

Furthermore, I am working on my new post-doc article, an international research group project guided by Prof. Sluhovsky and Dr. Tamar Hess from the Hebrew University and Andreas Krass from the Humboldt University Berlin.

Also, I am involved in ongoing research "The Lesbian Society at the Kibbutz", as a part of the Yad-Tabenkin research group, guided by Prof. Sylvie Fogiel Bijaoui and Dr. Amit Kama.

I am in the progressing stages of publishing three of my Ph.D. researches in English: "The Hebrew Matchmaker: The Modern and Post-Modern Matchmaking Revolutions in Tel-Aviv 1920-2020"; "Women Images in the Hebrew Press"; "Women Culms in the Mandate Newspapers".

I start planning to publish my dissertation as a book: "Public Discourse on Private Relationships – 'Couplehoods' in the Hebrew Press at Pre-State Israel."
