Galina Rabinovich, a PhD student at the Department of General History, University of Haifa,
is working on her research project entitled "Discourses of the justification of violence in early
Christianity."

She delves into cruelty and violence, regarding them as umbrella terms that
cover a variety of complex phenomena. Her focus is not solely on cruelty and violence
themselves, but rather on the unique discourse associated with them.

The study allows us to rethink and redefine given concepts of violence and cruelty as a socially constructed and
discursively conditioned phenomenon. Her PhD research is conducted under the direction of
Dr. Moshe Blidstein at Haifa University.

This year, she participated in the Annual Conference of the Israel Society for the Promotion of Classical Study.  During the Early
Career Researcher's Workshop, she presented a lecture titled "Persecution of Christians in the
Roman Empire: historical context versus discursive reality."
