I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Haifa and I am affiliated with the Center for the Study of Poverty and Social Exclusion. I joined the University of Haifa after completing my PhD at UCLA. I have also been a visiting scholar at the University of Chicago (2003-2006), a visiting professor at Stanford (2018-2019), and at Princeton (2023-2024). My primary research interests are in demography of the family, poverty, and inequality. Much of my research focuses on the link between gender, family and poverty.
