Dr Yael Gordon is a researcher in the Department of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics (LSE), specializing in refugee voice and representation across media platforms.

Her work focuses on platforms like TikTok, Facebook, and traditional media, examining themes such as gender identity, forced migration narratives, and cultural integration.

Her key research interests include refugee agency in self-documentation, the evolution of refugee representation in comedy (e.g., German TV), and the role of digital platforms in fostering temporary 'homes' during displacement. Languages spoken include English and Hebrew.

While no formal awards or grants are listed, her ongoing projects reflect innovative approaches to understanding refugee experiences through media.
