My teaching and research activities focus on the psycho-social aspects of human eating behaviors.

It deals with the contribution of the Social and Behavioral Sciences to the acquisition and maintenance of proper eating habits - among individuals, families, small and large groups sharing common characteristics, such as:
Gender, ethnic origin, age group, developmentally delay.

An additional field of teaching & research is lifelong learning - in Israel and internationally
