Speaker Profile
Davina’s academic interests lie at the intersection of Jewish philosophy, theology, and feminism, with a particular focus on post-secular thought. She is especially engaged by questions of how people understand and relate to God in their lives — including how that understanding is tested by suffering and evil — as well as by the future of Jewish peoplehood.
