I am a cultural historian with a background in Theology and Semitics. My research is dedicated to Jews and Jewish culture in the wider Graeco-Roman world. In my doctoral dissertation, I examined autobiographical discourse in the "Jewish War" of the Jewish-Roman historian Flavius Josephus. The questions that drive my current research project are concerned with the impact of migration and human mobility on premodern forms of textual production, with a particular emphasis on the Jewish literature written in Greek from the early Roman empire (Philo of Alexandria, Paul of Tarsus, Flavius Josephus).
