"Much of my research to date has focused on the mobilization and action strategies of the Israeli settler movement (ISM). I first pursued this research agenda in my Ph.D. dissertation and later during my postdoc fellowship at Cornell University. My current work (with Cas Mudde) goes beyond this research agenda to include social movement success. As part of this research agenda, we have conducted extensive fieldwork and survey research in the West Bank and Gaza, carrying out experimental surveys as well as in-depth interviews with the elite of the Israeli settler movement."[4]
