Adam Teller is a professor in the Department of History and the Department of Judaic Studies at Brown University. He was born and raised in London, England, where he completed his undergraduate studies at Oxford University. He moved to Israel to pursue graduate studies in Jewish History, focusing on early modern Polish-Lithuanian Jewry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In 1995, he took a position in the Department of Jewish History at the University of Haifa, Israel, before moving to Brown University in 2010. Teller specializes in early modern Jewish history, particularly the history of Jews in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, exploring their roles in society and the economic interactions between Jews and non-Jews during that period.
