On February 22nd the AUA’s Undergraduate Student Council will host a public lecture featuring Yair Auron. Professor Auron is currently serving as a Visiting Professor at AUA for the 2016 Spring semester.

Professor Auron has served as the head of the Department of Sociology, Political Science and Communication at the Open University of Israel. Auron received his MA from Hebrew University and his Ph.D from Université de la Sorbonne Nouvelle.
