Dr. Annalise Glauz-Todrank

Annalise E. Glauz-Todrank earned her Ph.D. at the University of California, Santa Barbara in Religious Studies. Her scholarship focuses on the intersections of religion, race, and law in the configuration of Jewish identification, particularly in the modern period. She is the author of Judging Jewish Identity in the United States (2022) in which she examines why and how antisemitism came to be regarded legally as a race-based crime in Shaare Tefila Foundation v. Cobb (1987). Additionally, she has published in Religion Compass, Critical Research on Religion, as well as chapters in the edited volumes, Judaism, Race, and Ethics: Approaches and Conversations, Modern Jewish Ethics 1970-Present, and Who Is a Jew?: Reflections on History, Religion, and Culture. She is currently pursuing a new project focusing on Jewish legal responses to state abortion law following the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Supreme Court case. Previously, she taught at Wesleyan University. Her B.A. is from Hampshire College.
