Judaism

Judaism

This field encompasses a multidisciplinary approach to Judaism from late antiquity to the present, including textual studies, history, law, and critical theories. Graduate students will be trained to explore their area of specialization within the larger context of religious studies and will be encouraged to employ methodological approaches endemic to the study of religion in their research. Our department is particularly suited to accommodate interest in the following areas: gender, race, disability, trauma, archives, memory studies, Hebrew Bible, and Judaism in the Americas. See also, Jewish Studies.

Special admissions requirements

To apply, you should have an M.A. in Jewish Studies or related field and two years of a Jewish language, usually Hebrew.
