I am a PhD student researching antisemitism in modern Australia.My project uses case studies drawn from the history of antisemitism in Australia to test existing theories of antisemitism and to develop my own typology and theory. A major aim of my research is to understand the deep, underlying and fundamental driving factors of antisemitism that usually remain dormant, but that can be easily awoken and activated. I also explore the role that antisemitism plays in serving as a sociopolitical glue for various ideologies.Previously, as part of my Honours and MA in Holocaust Studies, I researched Holocaust denial and obfuscation in contemporary Europe. I have mainly concentrated on the memory of the Holocaust and how it fits into non-Jewish national narratives and national identity in post-Soviet countries, with a particular focus on the Baltic states.I also have research interests in wider Jewish history and Jewish theological, philosophical and political thought in Australia, North America, the Middle East and North Africa.
