#metoo & Torah: Feminist Judaism

January 25-27, 2019

Featuring pioneers of Jewish feminist theology

Drs. Judith Plaskow & Martha Ackelsberg

 Dr. Judith Plaskow is Professor Emerita of Religious Studies at Manhattan College and a Jewish feminist theologian. Plaskow received her B.A. from Clark University in 1968 and her Ph.D. from Yale in 1975. She has authored many books on the intersection of religion and feminism, including, “Standing Again at Sinai,” the first work of Jewish feminist theology.

Martha Ackelsberg is the William R. Kenan Jr. Professor Emerita of Government and Professor Emerita of the Study of Women & Gender at Smith College. Much of her work has been a further exploration of what she terms “applied feminist theory,” and, specifically, constructions of gender and citizenship.
