Co-convenors Miri Freud-Kandel (University of Oxford) and Lea Taragin-Zeller (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) have opened applications for a working group focused on the intersection of Jewish theology and anthropology. Despite much recent scholarly interest in theology and anthropology, most works have tended to focus on the context of Christianity and Islam. This working group seeks to bridge this gap by bringing Jewish theology into dialogue with the anthropology of Jewish life.
This program will consist of an exploratory conversation during the 2025-2026 academic year, conducted via Zoom sessions.
For details, please see the attached Call for Participants.
