Dr. Fran Snyder serves as Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Eugene Lang College, The New School University, in New York City.
Her academic credentials include a doctorate in Midrash and Scriptural Interpretation from the Jewish Theological Seminary. Dr. Snyder's scholarly profile combines traditional religious studies with physical disciplines, reflecting her dual appointment at both The New School and the New York School of T'ai Chi Chuan where she teaches T'ai Chi and Qigong.
Her research focuses on innovative biblical interpretation methods that prioritize meaning over literalism. Her notable work on the Cain and Abel narrative examines Eve's voice as an etiology of human grief, demonstrating her feminist approach to scriptural analysis. This work aligns with her philosophical stance that religious tradition should be lived through rather than used to promote violence.
Dr. Snyder's interdisciplinary approach bridges religious scholarship with embodied practices, suggesting a holistic understanding of religious experience that connects textual interpretation with physical well-being.
