Prof. Anat Ben-David

I am an Associate Professor of Communication at the Open University of Israel. My research examines the intersections of digital media, memory, and politics, with a focus on social media, web archives, and the infrastructures that shape online knowledge. I employ digital and computational methods to study how platforms mediate collective memory, historical narratives, and sociotechnical power.

Extracurricular activities: Board member of the independent journalism website The Seventh Eye.

New book:

Aasman, S., Ben-David, A., & Brügger, N. (2025). The Routledge Companion to Transnational Web Archive Studies. Taylor & Francis Group.
