My academic research in the field of cultural geography focuses on the interplay and interface between history, memory, myth, landscape, and place. As a cultural geographer I am interested in the politics of public commemoration through street names; in how renaming streets during phases of regime change is embedded into the ideological (re)design of urban space and the (re)construction of official political identity; in the history and poetics of memorial landscapes; in issues pertaining to place-making involving myths and images, as well as in the employment of historical space as a narrative medium.

During my academic career, I have published in Hebrew, English and German on the political and cultural history of commemorative street (re)naming in Germany and in Israel, on the commemoration of the fallen in Israel through war memorials, military cemeteries and days of remembrance, and on the cultural history and mythography of Tel Aviv.
