Sophia Solomon studies political violence derived from nationalism and ethno-religious extremism in Israel, specializing in sports and soccer fans. Her research focuses on contemporary radicalization/deradicalization processes and their implication on the democratic framework and values across various political fields of knowledge, such as racism, xenophobia, civic protests, political movements, military-society relations, and IR. In addition, she explores socio-political aspects of Israeli society's collective memory of the Holocaust and the North African Mizrahi community.

She uses multiple qualitative research methods, such as field observations, individual and group interviews, and critical discourse analysis of journalistic and social media content. Her latest research involves interdisciplinary work with computational sciences, analyzing the co-dependence of online and offline violence and the centrality of “Fake news” and “post-truth” perceptions.

Her focus on processes of political violence also corresponds with the courses she teaches dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, questions, and narratives of identity and culture in Israel, as well as the Middle East and North Africa region. Sophia's current study concerns the implementation of the “Abraham Accords” between Israel, the United Emirates, Morocco and Bahrain in sports.
