Research on Jewish atheism

We warmly welcome PD Dr. Carolin Kosuch from Georg August University in Göttingen. Carolin Kosuch will be conducting research at the Institute as a fellow from September to December and working on her current research project, Jewish Atheism: A Concept of Belonging and Becoming.

During my time at the IGdJ, I will be working on a new research project that will examine the atheistic positions of people of Jewish origin in the 19th and 20th centuries. At the intersection of intellectual and conceptual history research, and taking social and cultural factors into account, I want to examine the diversity of atheistic thought—an ideological phenomenon that has thus far been viewed primarily from a Christian-secular perspective.
