My name is Alma Kalisky, I'm 25 years old, and I'm from Raanana, Israel. My undergraduate studies were at the Hebrew University, where I double-majored in General and Comparative Literature and Communication and Journalism. I chose those majors as I was intrigued by how narratives work – and both fields study narratives, in one way or the other. In the third year of my B.A., I went on a semester abroad in Berlin, where I was exposed to a whole new world of academic approaches and fields of study. While abroad, I became interested in disinformation and specifically in conspiracy theories, and as I was reading more about it, I wanted to investigate it and figure out how and why people are being drawn to it. When I returned to Israel, I decided that I want to be more involved in the Department of Communication and Journalism to write a thesis about conspiracy theories. Because of that, I started working as a teacher’s assistant, and later became a research assistant at  PROFECI, an ERC (European Research Council)  funded project. This year, I started my master’s degree in Communication and Journalism (Internet and Media Track) while working on my thesis on conspiracy theories. My academic mentor in the program is Prof. Neta Kligler-Vilenchik.
