I am a professor of Political Science and Jewish Studies at the University of Florida.  I received my Ph.D. in Modern Middle East Politics from the University of Washington in 2001.  I teach courses in comparative politics, comparative law and society, Israel and Middle East Politics.  My research centers on intellectual, political, and communal links between state and social actors.  I am particularly interested in the impact of these links on judicial politics and judicial power.
