I am currently a senior fellow at the Zentrum für Jüdische Studien Berlin-Brandenburg and a Visiting Professor at Humboldt University’s Theologische Fakultät, on leave from Brown University where I was recently appointed Visiting Associate Professor in the Programs of Judaic Studies and Urban Studies. My degrees are in history of art and archaeology with a research focus on Roman and Byzantine period Palestine. After my undergraduate and graduate studies at the Université d’Aix-Marseille in France, I completed my Ph.D. at Brown University, followed by postdoctoral studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Jerusalem has been the primary focus of my teaching (École biblique et archéologique française and Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Tufts University, Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design in the US) as well as my research and publications (including three books and multiple articles). Though originally trained as a classical art historian and archaeologist with a special interest in the Greco-Roman period, my book projects on Jerusalem focused on an all-encompassing chronological timelines, from pre-history to the present time integrating contemporary aspects of religion, politics, and cultural heritage.
