Biography

Miri Freud-Kandel is a Fellow and Lecturer in Modern Judaism at the University of Oxford. Her research focuses on Modern Jewish thought, particularly the development of Orthodox Jewish theology from the 19th to the 20th centuries. She explores themes of denominationalism, the nature of fundamentalism in contemporary Orthodox Judaism, and the role of Anglo-Jewry, specifically Anglo-Jewish Orthodoxy and the Chief Rabbinate. Additionally, her academic inquiries extend to the theology of Louis Jacobs and the systematization of modern theologies in Judaism. Miri also examines Jewish feminist thought, reflecting her interests in the intersection of gender and religion within Jewish studies. Her work contributes to a deeper understanding of Jewish theology and the study of religions through a contemporary lens.
