About Me

Daphne Anson: I'm a writer/researcher, with many academic books and articles under my own name. Daphne Anson is my blogging alias.

I use an alias owing to a perceived need to keep my blogging and professional identities separate.

I began blogging in response to the exponential rise in antisemitism and hostility to Israel in the wake of the Mavi Marmara affair. Another reason I use an alias: http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2015/08/alias-two-ships-daphne-anson.html
