About Me
I am an award-winning lecturer and analyst specialising in Israel and Middle Eastern affairs. I teach at Monash University and the University of Melbourne.
My research focuses on extremism within Australia's Arabic-speaking and Muslim communities, antisemitism in Australia, and Australia's Jewish community, particularly the Israeli diaspora ("Ausraelis").
