About

Dr. Yeela Lahav-Raz is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. She specializes in the anthropology of sex and sexuality, as well as digital anthropology. Her research focuses on the sex industry in Israel, online sexual economies, and the ways digital technologies shape intimacy, labor, and power relations. Her articles have been published in leading academic venues, and her book Israeli Masculinity, Sex Work, and Consumerism (2023) examines the world of men who pay for sex and the construction of Israeli masculinity, authenticity, and consumption. Her work combines qualitative research, digital ethnography, and reflexive writing, and she is also active in making anthropological knowledge accessible to broader publics.
