Dr. Nurit Novis-Deutsch is a lecturer in the Department of Learning, Teaching, and Instruction within the Faculty of Education at the University of Haifa. She received her PhD from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem’s Psychology Department and completed her Post-Doctoral training at UC Berkeley, California. Dr. Novis-Deutsch's psychological research concerns the ways in which people create meaning and make sense of their identity within multiple social contexts, and the modes through which they manage these often-contradictory frames of meaning. She is particularly interested in the impact of individuals’ meaning management and identity-work on their attitudes towards others. In studying these questions, Dr. Novis-Deutsch focuses on values, morality, religion, culture, and identity, as significant points of convergence between the collective and the personal, exploring intrapsychic and inter-group conflicts between them.
