To feel and talk in a language of conflict: distinct emotional experience and expression of bilinguals among disadvantaged minority members

The paper "To feel and talk in a language of conflict: distinct emotional experience and expression of bilinguals among disadvantaged minority members" is Nur's first publication and it summarizes Nur's thesis project, under the supervision of Dr. Anat Perry, in collaboration with Dr. Yonat Rum.
