Dr. Dassi Postan-Aizik

Dr. Dassi Postan-Aizik is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Social Work at Yezreel Valley College, Israel. Her scholarship focuses on community and environmental social work and community–academy partnerships, particularly in contexts of diversity and division. Her work examines how spatial, ecological, and intersectional inequalities shape marginalization, exclusion, and solidarity. Grounded in social and environmental justice perspectives, her research and pedagogy employ participatory, community-based methodologies that center lived experience and the co-production of knowledge. Dassi is a former postdoctoral fellow at the University of Maryland School of Social Work and a long-time collaborator in the international Social Justice Seminar.
