Sari Fein is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Fern and Manfred Steinfeld Program in Judaic Studies at Smith College, MA. She holds a PhD from Brandeis University (2022) with a dissertation on biblical mothers in early Jewish thought, now being adapted into a monograph. Her research focuses on women’s reproductive agency in Jewish antiquity, utilizing textual sources and material objects like incantation bowls and amulets. Her work bridges religious studies, ancient history, and gender analysis to explore how women navigated bodily autonomy and community identity in pre-modern contexts.
Her current project examines intersections of reproduction, health, and religious belief through a combination of rabbinic texts and archaeological evidence. An article on this topic is forthcoming in Advances in Near Eastern and Biblical Research.
No grants or awards are explicitly noted in the provided text. She has no listed advisees or lab affiliations, though her research suggests involvement with historical archives or archaeological teams.
