I am a social historian studying Mediterranean peoples from a bottom-up point of view. I focuses on the material culture of port Jews (Sephardic merchants), dock Jews (longshoremen, contractors in cargo-handling services, fishermen, port administrators, shipping agents, financers of maritime projects, leasers of waterfront real estate, suppliers of equipment to port authorities, etc.), and Jewish artisans (Jewish niches in handicraft industries) in different parts of the Mediterranean at the turn of the 20th century—i.e., in the era of capitalism, colonialism, and the rise of nation-states.Website: http://haifa.academia.edu/SSrougo

I study the Classical Rabbinic Literature of Late Antiquity and its reception as reflected in the communities documented inn the Cairo Genizah. I worked on the themes of conversion and demarcation of Identity, gender and family relations. My Genizah studies focus on the use, adaptation and reworking of aggadic midrashim in Hebrew and Judeo Arabic.In the recent years I began to develop the field of Digital Humanities in the University of Haifa and to examine classical Rabbinnic Literature by advance computerized tools.
