Prof. Edna Lomsky-Feder is a qualitative sociologist who investigates the conjunctures between agents and society as manifested through the interplay between individual and collective identity, private and social biography, and personal and national memory. In exploring these issues over the years, she has chosen to study three potentially crisis-laden transitional states -- youth, war and migration -- in which the encounter between individual and society is intensified.

Her latest project is focused on the military experience of women in Israel.
