HBI Seminar Series - Gender and Jewish Thought - January – May 2009
The introduction of Women's and Gender Studies and shifts within this discipline have allowed for new readings of classical Jewish texts and drawn attention to texts that have stood beyond the purview of scholarship. The HBI Seminar Series will bring together outstanding researchers of Jewish philosophical, exegetical and literary texts interested in subjects pertaining to Women's and Gender Studies. Participants will join in bi-monthly group discussions and a concluding symposium. Scholars of the rabbinic, medieval and modern periods will be considered. Jonathan Decter, Brandeis University Assistant Professor of Sephardic Studies, will Chair the program.
Residencies are for one semester.
Application deadline: February 28, 2008
