Biography

Carly Crouch is a Professor specializing in Textual, Historical, and Systematic studies of Judaism and Christianity, holding the Chair in Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and Ancient Judaism at Radboud University. Her research focuses on the intellectual, cultural, and social history of ancient Israel and Judah, especially concerning the impact of displacement on Israelite and Judahite identities. Currently, she employs social scientific research to explore themes of migration, trauma, and imperial-colonial power in interpreting biblical and extra-biblical evidence from Israel and Judah. Her projects draw from various fields including anthropology, archaeology, translation theory, and film studies. She maintains a strong interest in ethics and social justice, investigating how historical research can contribute to contemporary ethical discussions. Crouch has held prestigious research fellowships at institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge, and Göttingen, and has taught in the USA and UK. She invites prospective doctoral students with related interests to contact her via email.
