Description
Andrea Schatz has been teaching Jewish Studies at King’s since 2008. She studied Comparative Literature and Jewish Studies at the Freie Universität Berlin and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and received her PhD from Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf in 2003. In the following years, she held research fellowships at the Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies in Philadelphia (research group: \'Historical and Anthropological Perspectives in Jewish Studies\'), in the Society of Fellows at Princeton University and at the University of Amsterdam. In 2009, Andrea returned to the Katz Center as co-convenor of a research group on \'Secularism and Its Discontents\'. From 2012–2015, she was a Co-Investigator of the AHRC-funded research project The Reception of Josephus in Jewish Culture from the 18th Century to the Present (Oxford/King’s). A fellowship at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIAS) in 2020-21 allowed her to focus on her current book project. In 2021-22, she serves as President of the British and Irish Association of Jewish Studies (BIAJS).
