Subject:  Sexuality in the Cities of Israel during the state's Formative Era.

Supervisor:  Prof. Moshe Sluhovsky

Abstract:  My Ph.D. Thesis focuses on the perceptions and diverse practice of sexuality in Israel urban centers during the state's formative era. The research will be based on oral, private and archive historical sources and will focus on the similarities and differences of the sexuality among gender, socio-political and ethnic sub-groups. Understanding the sexuality-in-practice is intended to contribute for the on-going research of the penetration of Individualism and Globalization to the Israeli Society in a very early stage.
