    Yael Patkin, Laughing in the Square? Commemorating Yitzhak Rabin and His Assassination in Israeli Humor

    An article authored by Yael Patkin, a Research Masters student, has been published in the academic journal "Israeli Sociology". Yael started working on the project as a seminar paper in a seminar on Collective Memory taught by Dr. Oren Meyers. An earlier version of this paper won the best student paper prize (in Memory of Yuval Shahal) awarded by the Israeli Communication Association in 2014. The paper examines the collective memory of Yitzhak Rabin and his assassination by analyzing humoristic skits that were broadcasted after his murder.
