Dr. Judith Plaskow Engages with the Question: What Has Most Influenced Your Scholarship?

What has most influenced your scholarship?

Dr. Judith Plaskow discusses her scholarly background and introduces herself as a “Jewish Feminist Theologian”. Her introduction to feminist thinking during her second year at Yale University was a key event in her development, and she describes the effect this has had on her focus on the place of women in the field of theology and religious studies. She goes on to identify the most influential person in her work as Dr. Carol Crisp, who is her peer and who is also one of the real pioneers of scholarly women in theology.
