Political and gendered polarization in American abortion-related discourse

My name is Aviv Mor. I am 26 years old, born and raised in central Israel. I’ve been interested in the field of communications since my teen years, and at the age of 22 I moved to Jerusalem to start my academic path at the Hebrew University’s Department of Communications and Journalism. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Communications and International relations, and for the past year I have been working as a research assistant in PROFECI - an ERC (European Research Council) funded project examining the social dynamics of public projections. I am passionate about political communication and gender and my major work so far has focused on abortion-related legislation in the United States in the years previous to the overturning of Roe V. Wade. As the recent year’s developments in abortions’ legality in the US have been dramatic, my thesis will deal with the reception of the overturning of Roe among experts, journalists, and the public, and will pay particular attention to future-oriented speech and projections about the post-Roe era. My academic mentors in the program are Prof. Keren Tenenboim-Weinblatt, and Dr. Lilly Boxman.
