Gil Z. Hochberg (Ph.D. UC Berkeley; Associate professor of Comparative Literature, UCLA). Her work focuses on the intersections among trauma studies (psychoanalysis), race theory, and postcolonial theory, particularly in the context of contemporary Israel and Palestine as well as North Africa.
Professor Hochberg has published essays on a wide range of issues including:
Francophone North African literature, Palestinian literature, gender and nationalism, cultural memory and immigration, memory and gender, exile and litetrary production. Her first book  "In Spite of Partition: Jews, Arabs, and the Limits of Separatist Imagination" (Princeton University Press, 2007), examines the complex relationship between the signifiers "Arab" and "Jew" in contemporary Jewish and Arab literatures.
