Jewish Political Thought, Religion and Politics, Authority

 

I am a Lecturer on Social Studies at Harvard University. I received my PhD in Government (Political Thought) from Cornell University in 2024.
My current book project explores Jewish ideas of covenant as a resource for an alternative conception of authority from the inherited understanding from the ‘Western’ canon.
My work also engages political theology, interpretation and hermeneutics, and democratic theory.

“The Bible, like the philosophy of Aristotle, for example, contains more than a sum of doctrines; it represents a way of thinking, a specific context in which general concepts possess a particular significance, a standard of evaluation, a form of orientation; not only a mental fabric but also a certain disposition or manner of interweaving and interrelating intuitions and perceptions, a unique loom of thoughts.”
— Abraham Joshua Heschel
