Aside from teaching planning history and theory at Bezalel, she also practices planning, mainly on projects of urban conservation and currently runs the Jerusalem Digital Archives project in collaboration with the Jerusalem Development Authority. Dr Hysler Rubin's current interests include the genesis of urban planning in Israel/Palestine, the planning of divided Jerusalem, post-colonial planning critique, and values and criteria for conservation and digital heritage.
