Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of the performance of religious and gender difference in Israeli academia. As an ultra-Orthodox Jewish woman in Israel, my identity uneasily hovers at the juncture of multiple and intersecting sites of discrimination: of all religious groups, the ultra-Orthodox attract the most opprobrium from Israeli society, being viewed as anachronistic, insular, and anti-Zionist—and females in academia have well-documented challenges to face. Through the medium of autoethnography, I explore what it means to be female and ultra-Orthodox in Israeli academe: the daily journeys between diverse discourse communities, the necessary shifts in rhetorical footing, and how performing gender and religious difference in this society promotes encounters with stereotyping and bias.

摘要

这项研究的目的是研究宗教和性别差异的表现对以色列学术界的影响。作为以色列的一个超正统犹太妇女，我的身份不安地徘徊在歧视的多个交叉点的交汇处：在所有宗教团体中，超正统吸引了以色列社会的最大op蔑，被认为是过时，孤立和孤立的。反犹太复国主义者-学术界的女性面临着有据可查的挑战。通过民族志学的媒介，我探索了在以色列学术界成为女性和超正统教徒意味着什么：各种话语社区之间的日常旅行，修辞基础的必要转变，以及在这个社会中表现出性别和宗教差异如何促进与女性的交往。刻板印象和偏见。
