    • Yuval Katz is a Lecturer in the Department of Communication and Media at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ. He was previously a postdoctoral fellow at the Annenberg School for Communication, holding a joint appointment at the Centre for Advanced Studies in Global Communication (CARGC) and the Centre on Digital Culture and Society (CDCS). Yuval holds a PhD from the University of Michigan. 

    Yuval is currently working on a book manuscript titled “Mending the peaces: Media encounters and the future of peace in Israel/Palestine”, where he argues for a new peace agenda in Israel/Palestine, one that is based on relationships between ordinary people rather than diplomats. Looking at television dramas, a digital activist project and the work of journalists, the projects triangulates data from these distinct media spaces, looking at popular texts and media industry practices simultaneously. The book provides a case for looking beyond ideological divides as encounters through, in and for media between ostensible enemies generate a new potential for peace.
