      Dissertation Title: The organizational discourse surrounding workers' unionization efforts in Israel 2012-2014.

      Advisors: Prof. Rivka Ribak and Dr. Roei Davidson.

      Tamar is an Organizational Communication scholar. Her Doctoral work focuses on the organizational discourse surrounding new workers' unionizations, in Israeli business corporations – a significantly emerging trend in recent years. She closely follows the ways in which workers utilize mobile social media in their efforts to form their representative union.

      In her research, Tamar explores the sociomaterial implications of leveraging communication technologies for both organizational resistance and activism in general. She examines aspects such as mobile social media affordances and participant structures, workers' self-presentation and collective voice, and contemporary employment relations discourse.
