About

My research bridges the disciplines of history and political science, employing cutting-edge digital methodologies to examine memory, political behavior, and public discourse. My dissertation, This Tale Happened Once Upon a Time: Remembering the Civil War in California, 1865-2020 explores how regional narratives shape collective memory and political identities. Through geospatial analysis, archival research, and Generative AI, I analyze the erasure of California's Civil War protagonists from public discourse and the transplantation of national narratives into the state. 

In my academic-activist side, אogether with my father, Israel Kroizer, I have undertaken a legal effort to address the significant budget mismanagement within ultra-Orthodox education networks  ("Hachinuch Ha’atzmai" and "Bnei Yosef"). Following this initiative I have been invited to be a fellow at the Center on Applied Research on Risks to Democracy at Tel Aviv UIniversity.
