The Woman Question in Jewish Studies

More about the book

Focusing on the challenges faced by women and nonbinary individuals in Jewish studies, this book combines quantitative data and personal narratives to highlight institutional and individual barriers. The authors analyze women's representation in academic publishing and conference panels while tracing the field's historical development and its ties to traditional religious studies. They address issues of harassment and gender discrimination among scholars and propose a reparative path to foster a more inclusive and equitable environment in Jewish studies.
