I work on the three “Abrahamic” religions, with a focus on the Christianities and Judaisms of late antiquity and the early Middle Ages. I direct the “Forum for the Study of Christianity,” a unique fellowship for MA and doctoral students. I am especially interested in questions relating to language, interpretation, body and gender. My first book Incorruptible Bodies: Christology, Society and Authority in Late Antiquity (Christianity in Late Antiquity 1; University of California Press, 2016), based on my Yale PhD dissertation, examines a series of sixth-century discussions about the physical, social and liturgical bodies of Christ. In 2015 I was awarded the Prof. Shlomo Pines Prize for Outstanding Scholarship for an article that ultimately came out as “Fish eats Lion eats Man: Saadia Gaon, Syriac Christianity and the Resurrection of the Dead,” Jewish Quarterly Review 106 (2016), 494-520.
