Scientific biography: Before I completed my doctorate in the English department of the Hebrew University, I was a student in our English department at the University of Haifa. I had the pleasure of receiving my BA and MA here and am proud, today, to be a faculty member. During my graduate studies, my research focused on modernist literature and Lacanian psychoanalytic theory. In 2015, when I was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Martin Buber Society at the Hebrew University, I published my first book Conrad, Faulkner, and the Problem of Nonsense, before the joining the faculty of the English department at the University of Haifa in 2017.
