I am a Professor of Political Science and Public Policy. I joined the Hebrew University in 2010 following a PhD at Oxford and a lectureship at King's College London. My research foci are bureaucratic politics and behavioral public administration. I am inclined to employ mixed methods and observational research, bridging quantitative and qualitative methods to make sense of real-world bureaucratic settings. My most recent work and interest are in citizen-bureaucratic encounters, bureaucratic discrimination of minorities, and the effect of diversity and representation on bureaucracies’ deployment of their powers. I am also interested and have written about bureaucratic reputation and state-business regulatory encounters and their consequences for citizens. My work has been published in key journals in the field of public administration, including the Journal of Public Administration Research & Theory, Governance, Regulation & Governance and Public Administration.
