Religious scholar to speak at UC for Lichter Series

As a part of its ongoing Lichter Lecture series, the University of Cincinnati's Department of Judaic Studies will play host to Michael Satlow, professor of religious studies and Judaic studies at Brown University.

His lecture, titled “Men, Women and Shame among Jews in Antiquity,” is scheduled for 7 p.m., Thursday Oct. 25, in the Taft Center, Edwards 1.

Satlow’s research focuses on the social and religious history of the Jewish community and Judaism in antiquity. Satlow has many published books and articles exploring sexuality, gender, marriage and family during Rabbinic Judaism in late antiquity.

Satlow’s speaking engagements are relatable. He is well regarded for his ability to translate complex academic research in a way that is engaging and interesting to the public.

The Lichter Lecture Series is made possible by the Jacob and Jennie L. Lichter Fund of the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati. It is also supported by the Mayerson Jewish Community Center and UC's departments of history, sociology and women’s, gender and sexuality studies. Paid parking is available in the Corry Garage.
