Eva is a 5th year Ph.D. candidate in Religion and Jewish Studies. Her dissertation, Making the Psalms: Ancient Concepts of Textual Tradition in Psalms and Related Texts, discusses early Jewish book culture in a pre-codex world, showing how writing and text production was imagined in Second Temple Judaism through the example of an unusual Psalms collection from the Dead Sea Scrolls. In the 2011/2012 academic year, she will be a Visiting Lecturer in Hebrew Bible/Ancient Judaism at Indiana University Bloomington.
Eva’s research interests include the formation of the Hebrew Bible and para-biblical literature, early Jewish lament traditions, and the history of reading and writing from the ancient world to modern digital culture.
