Avital Schkolnik,

Before coming to Duke, I completed my master’s degree in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies in which I immersed myself in black feminist theory, queer theory, gender studies, performance studies, and black studies. My current research seeks to bring those disciplines together, along with my training in Jewish studies and my recent engagement in the Israel-Palestine relation. Specifically, I am interested in the dynamics of suffering, and the role of national memory in its denial and recognition.
