Professor Yaacov Yadgar, Stanley Lewis Professor of Israel Studies at the University of Oxford, focuses his research on the complexities of identity, nationalism, culture, and the media, particularly within the Jewish-Israeli context. His scholarly work critically examines the Israeli nation-statehood and its relationship with Zionist ideology. His notable publications include 'Jewish State: Zionism and New Judaism,' 'Israel’s Jewish Identity Crisis: State Politics in the Middle East,' and 'Sovereign Jews: Israel, Zionism, Judaism.'
