  Self-Employed

  After a successful crowdfunding campaign, I published the book I wrote based on my Ph.D. research. The book is titled "What name do you go by now?" and it is written for the wider public, not just academia, with original illustrations in black and white. The subject matter of the book is an example of an original knowledge development process that connects the personal, the social, and the political while accessing academic, theoretical and research knowledge.אחרי מסע ארוך ומאתגר, שכלל גם קמפיין גיוס המונים מוצלח, הספר שכתבתי בעקבות הדוקטורט שלי יצא לאור. בנוסף לכל מה שאפשר להגיד על הספר עצמו, הנושא והסוגייה שהוא עוסק בה, אני רואה בו דוגמא לתהליך פיתוח ידע מקורי שמחבר בין האישי לחברתי והפוליטי, תוך הנגשה של ידע אקדמי, עיוני ומחקרי, לקהל רחב שאינו מצוי בהכרח במושגי היסוד של הטקסט. אם תרצו לשמוע עוד על הדרך שעשיתי, ומה למדתי ממנה, אשמח לשתף ולספר.
