Moriah Omar-Attali is a doctoral student in the Child and Youth Rights Program at the Minerva Center for Human Rights at the Faculty of Law. Moriah is a graduate of the faculty, having completed an honors program that integrates a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) and a Master of Business Administration (MBA). Later she studied for an additional master's degree in the program for management and policy in education at Tel Aviv University and is currently a doctoral student at the School of Education at the Hebrew University.
Her research as part of her PhD deals with the voice and agency of students in the classroom as part of technology-based improvement processes, as a means of expressing their right to participate. In previous studies she dealt with entrepreneurship in education as well as the laughter of students as part of classroom discourse.
Before turning to research in education, Moriah worked as a lawyer, as an editor at Calcalist’s news desk and in economic development in underprivileged neighborhoods in the city of Lod. She subsequently engaged in various educational initiatives in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, working in schools and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with both children and at-risk adults.
