I am a Lecturer on Social Studies at Harvard University, where I teach classes on social and political thought, religion and politics, and methods for historical and theoretical research.
I received my PhD in Government (Political Thought) from Cornell University in 2024. My book project explores Jewish ideas of covenant as a resource for an alternative conception of authority, distinct from the understanding inherited from the ‘Western’ canon.

““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.””
