Office Hours: Fall 2013:
Research Interests: As a scholar of Jewish history, eastern European history, and of early modern religious and cultural history, I specialize in Jewish-Christian relations. My first book, Jews and Heretics in Catholic Poland: A Beleaguered Church in the Post Reformation Era, published by Cambridge University Press in 2006 (pbk, 2009), challenges the perception that the Catholic Church triumphed in Poland and demonstrates the superficiality of the re-Catholicization of the ruling elites, whose economic interests trumped their religious loyalties. My new book, Sinners on Trial: Jews and Sacrilege after the Reformation (Harvard University Press, 2011) tells a story of affirmation of Catholic dogmas after the Reformation, not necessarily though religious education and propaganda but through the application of criminal law, and the courts' treatment of "the sacred" and, thus, also of the "sacrilege." The book addresses one of the most notorious examples of "sacrilege" -- the accusation that Jews desecrated consecrated communion wafers. "Sinners on Trial" combines political, legal, and cultural historical approaches. Far more than the Church's efforts to educate the laity, the lay courts' classification of Catholic spaces as the only "sacred spaces" and their adjudication of crimes of "sacrilege," were crucial for the (re)Catholicisation of Poland, and the shaping of the country's religious identity. "Sinners on Trial" crucially casts a new light on the most infamous case of sacrilege, the accusations against Jews for stealing and desecrating the host, situating it within a broader context of the politics of crime -- most specifically that of sacrilege, illuminating its post-Reformation character.

Research Interests: Deficits in GABAergic interneuron populations have been found to underly a number of neuropsychiatric disorders as well as epilepsy. In our research, we study the origins and functions of forebrain interneurons in rodent models of Fragile X syndrome and epilepsy. We are also investigating GABAergic interneuron replacement in temporal lobe epilepsy using different stem cell sources - fetal telencephalon and mouse and human embryonic stem cells. We have discovered that GABAergic progenitor grafts suppress spontaneous seizures for extended periods of time in the rodent brain. We have also demonstrated long-term survival, migration, and integration of ES cell-derived neurons in the adult hippocampus. The questions we are now pursuing are: 1) what are the molecular mechanisms regulating functional integration GABAergic interneuros; 2) what are the major differences in neural repair capacity of GABAergic neural progenitors derived from ES cells vs. fetal brain for treating temporal lobe epilepsy?
