I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Haifa’s School of Political Science and an Affiliated Faculty at UC Berkeley’s Center for Right-Wing Studies. At Haifa, I am also affiliated with the Elizabeth & Tony Comper Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism and Racism.

I study radical ideologies and political extremism, with a particular focus on how historical narratives, especially those drawn from classical antiquity, are reinterpreted and weaponized to shape modern politics, culture, and collective memory, tracing their influence on identity formation and ideological development.

My scholarship examines the political uses of history among both elites and radical actors. Building on my research into nationalist narratives in Israel and Greece, my current work focuses on European extremism in the aftermath of October 7, 2023. Specifically, I am analyzing the emerging convergence between radical left and far-right movements regarding Israel, and how these factions engage with the concept of “Western civilization.”

Beyond the academy, I am passionate about making complex historical and political dynamics accessible. I write and speak regularly on contemporary antisemitism and extremism.
