Assistant Professor of Judaic Studies
About
I teach the history of Jewish biblical interpretation. My research focuses the diverse ways in which historical Jewish communities have imagined the Hebrew Bible as a revelation and the varied modes in which they have engaged with the biblical tradition in practice. While centering rabbinic Jewish communities, my research frequently looks at loci of intersection between rabbinic Jewish practitioners and neighboring communities--be in early Christian lay practitioners, late antique readers of Homer, or medieval Muslim precursors to scholarly biblical criticism.
