Current Projects: 

  1. “Intersex- Care and Awareness: Changing attitudes towards Intersex individuals and their families”. This is a collaborative German-Israeli project funded by Zukunft, the German-Israeli future forum. This is a unique ethical project that aims to collaboratively create a set of psycho-social tools and methods for German and Israeli social workers and psychologists who work with intersex children and adults.

  2. “Between Genital Mutilation and Social Acceptance” – This study examines the differences and similarities between parents of intersex children and parents who choose to refuse to circumcise their boys.

  3. “The Dynamic between the Discourse of Geneticists, the New Biomedical Technologies, and Intersex Bodies” – This is the title of an additional German-Israeli research collaboration I established together with two scholars from Gottingen University, Prof. Claudia Wiesemann and Marie Sibylla Loske. Simon Zobel, a German life scientist and intersex activist, is also taking part. This research group was established in March 2018 and aims to explore the consequences of the new biogenetic technologies for intersex bodies.
