Shahar Shoham is a doctoral candidate in Global and Area Studies at the Institute for Asian and African Studies at Humboldt University of Berlin, and an alumna of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and Hans-Böckler-Stiftung in Germany.
Her ethnographic research provides a new perspective on the Thailand-Israel labor migration regime by centring the experiences of Thai migrant farmworkers in Israel as well as their sending communities in Thailand.
She also conducted research on Israel's externalization policies and deportations of refugees to Rwanda. Her latest article, published in the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, focuses on the ethics of collaborative public struggles with refugees.
