His lecture, titled “Men, Women and Shame among Jews in Antiquity,” is scheduled for 7 p.m., Thursday Oct. 25, in the Taft Center, Edwards 1.
Satlow’s research focuses on the social and religious history of the Jewish community and Judaism in antiquity. Satlow has many published books and articles exploring sexuality, gender, marriage and family during Rabbinic Judaism in late antiquity.
