ד״ר טליה שיף (JD-Ph.D., Northwestern University, 2018) 

אני מרצה לסוציולוגיה באוניברסיטת תל אביב. אני מתעניינת בממשק שבין משפט לחברה: מדוע יש פער בין חוק כתוב לחוק בפועל? כיצד תפיסות מוסריות ותרבותיות מעצבות את הליך היווצרותו ויישומו של חוק? ובאלו אופנים האנשים שממונים על יישום החוק מצליחים לאתגר את אותן קטגוריות חוק שמכתיבות את התנהגותם? אני בוחנת שאלות אלו דרך שני מקרי בוחן מרכזיים: הליכי קבלת החלטות בנוגע למעמד פליטות ואי-שוויון מגדרי בשוק העבודה.
