Ryan Scott Dulkin serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Theology at the University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minnesota, teaching undergraduate theology courses including Foundations: Bible & Community and Comparative: Judaism.
His academic credentials feature a PhD in Midrash and Scriptural Interpretation from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, complemented by Rabbinic Ordination and an M.Phil. from the same institution. Additional degrees include an MA in Midrash (Jewish Theological Seminary), and MA/BA in English Literature from San Francisco State University.
Dulkin's research centers on Rabbinic Literature and Jewish textual interpretation, with particular emphasis on Midrashic traditions and Jewish-Christian dialogue. He leads the Encountering Judaism Initiative to advance interreligious understanding through scholarly engagement with primary sources and ethical analysis of rabbinic expansions on biblical narratives.
His publications demonstrate consistent focus on ancient Jewish textual traditions, analyzing narrative structures in works like Pirqei de-Rabbi Eliezer and Genesis Rabbah while exploring theological concepts including mercy, creation, and demonic figures within rabbinic thought.
Key recognitions include:
- Stromseth Endowment for Intercultural and Interreligious Education
- Revson Fellow from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America
- Michael Klebanoff Doctoral Fellowship
Grant support has enabled his interfaith educational initiatives, particularly the Stromseth Endowment funding for curriculum development in intercultural religious education. His fellowship awards provided critical research support during doctoral studies on rabbinic literature.
Dulkin actively contributes to the University of St. Thomas theology curriculum through course development and participates in campus-wide initiatives promoting religious literacy and interfaith dialogue within Catholic higher education.
