Amy Kalmanofsky is dean of List College and the Blanche and Romie Shapiro Associate Professor of Bible Dean of Albert A. List College of Jewish Studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary, teaching courses on biblical literature, religion, and feminist interpretation of the Bible. Kalmanofsky’s book Gender-Play in the Hebrew Bible (2017) examines the ways in which the Bible defies and challenges its gender norms, and her book the Dangerous Sisters of the Hebrew Bible (2014) explores the biblical portrayal of sisters and sisterhoods and argues that both play a vital role in the Bible’s narrative. She serves on three editorial boards: The Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion, Feminist Studies in Religion Books, and the Biblical Interpretation Series.
