In addition to my research and my teaching, I seek to contribute meaningfully to scholarly conversations within my discipline and within the larger university community.

I currently co-direct the Association for Jewish Studies’ Paula Hyman Mentorship Program, and serve on the steering committee for the Unit on Traditions of the Late Antique East (TELA)for the American Academy of Religion. I just concluded positions on the board for the Association for Jewish Studies, and as co-chair of TELA for the American Academy of Religion.

At St. Mary’s, I co-founded the Community for Teaching and Learning, a faculty-led initiative to foster conversations about pedagogy and better support teaching and learning on campus, and co-directed it for three years. I currently serve as chair of the department of Theology.
