Tsafi Sebba-Elran research interests include the formation of cultural memory in Israel, the contribution of the national anthologies (including the humoristic anthologies) to the construction of a modern Hebrew canon, and the social as well as the epistemological changes those anthologies reflect.
Her studies deal also with Israeli humor and Israeli popular literature. Sebba-Elran teaches “Introduction to Modern Hebrew Literature”, “Introduction to Folk Literature”, and a variety of classes and seminars on Jewish folklore and Hebrew Literature.
