BioSketch
Professor Karla Goldman's research focuses on the history of American Jewish experience with special attention to history of American Jewish communities and the evolving roles and contributions of American Jewish women. She directs the University's Program in Jewish Communal Leadership.
Dr. Goldman's first book explores the role of women in the development of 18th and 19th century American Judaism. She is currently completing a history of the Jews of Cincinnati. Her work places American Jews within their broader social contexts, tracing the construction of American Jewish identities as a function of the choices around class, religion, gender, race, and politics afforded to Jews as a result of their complicated place as both outsiders and insiders in American society. Goldman is also engaged in an ongoing study of the Jewish experience of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath.
Professor Goldman previously taught American Jewish history at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati and served as historian in residence at the Jewish Women's Archive in Brookline, Massachusetts. She is the author of Beyond the Synagogue Gallery: Finding a Place for Women in American Judaism (Harvard University Press, 2000).
