He is a Professor of Political Studies at Bar Ilan University and directs the Interdisciplinary Program on Conflict Management and Negotiation. Middle East peace efforts and Israeli foreign and security policy are two of his specialties. He is featured frequently in (amongst others) the Jerusalem Post, the Wall Street Journal (Europe), The Financial Times, and on CBS News and the BBC. He will speak on academic freedom, the politics of boycotts and Israeli academia.

This years NPC conference "Postgraduate frontiers: Pushing back boundaries" will focus on internal, European and international boundaries to postgraduate education and academic research.
