Sarah Imhoff, a scholar of religion in the Americas, with research foci in Judaism, gender, race, and disability studies, has been promoted to full professor at Indiana University in the Department of Religious Studies. Her work combines deep archival historical research, usually centered in strands of American Judaism, with attention to a number of comparative themes and theoretical issues current in the academic study of religion. She is the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein Chair in Jewish Studies, with a joint appointment in Religious Studies and Jewish Studies. The centerpiece of her promotion case was her recent open access book, The Lives of Jessie Sampter: Queer, Disabled, Zionist.
