Dr. Naomi Shmuel is an author and anthropologist specializing in families in transition, and in training professionals (teachers, social workers, psychologists, medical professionals etc.) for working with human diversity. Her research focusses on the process of continuance and change across generations amongst Ethiopian immigrant families in Israel. Dr. Shmuel is the coordinator of Nevet’s context-informed training program for professionals working in culturally diverse environments. Her original prize winning children’s books are widely used throughout Israel in schools and pre-school programs to foster cross-cultural understanding and tolerance. She uses her children’s books to initiate discussions on sensitive topics (such as immigration, refugees, identity and belonging) in her academic courses and professional workshops. Naomi teaches courses on multiculturalism, identity and context awareness.
