Biography
Elizabeth A. Castelli, associate professor of Religion at Barnard College (A.B., Brown University, 1979; Ph.D., Claremont Graduate School, 1987) teaches courses on early Christianity, the religions of the ancient Mediterranean, and theory and method in the Religion Department as well as courses in feminist theory in the Women's Studies Department at Barnard and for the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at Columbia. She also directs the Centennial Scholars Program at Barnard College. She is the author of Martyrdom and Memory: Early Christian Culture-Making (Columbia UP, 2004), Imitating Paul: A Discourse of Power (Westminster/John Knox Press, 1991) and, as a member of the Bible and Culture Collective, The Postmodern Bible (Yale UP, 1995). She has edited and coedited several books and special issues of journals: Interventions: Activists and Academics Respond to Violence (with Janet R. Jakobsen; Palgrave Macmillan, 2004); Reverberations: On Violence, an issue of the Scholar and Feminist Online (2004; www.barnard.edu/sfonline/reverb); Women, Gender, Religion: A Reader (with Rosamond C. Rodman; Palgrave, 2001); Sexuality in Late Antiquity, a special issue of the Journal of the History of Sexuality (guest edited with Daniel Boyarin; U of Texas P, 2001); and Reimagining Christian Origins (with Hal Taussig; Trinity Press International, 1996). She is the editor of the interdisciplinary journal, Postscripts: Sacred Texts, Contemporary Worlds, published by Equinox (UK) and launching in April 2005, and serves on the editorial board of the Journal of the American Academy of Religion. During the 2003-2004 academic year, she was the Senior Research Scholar at the Center for Religion and Media at New York University where she began a new project, “‘The Persecuted Church’: Toward a Genealogy of a Political Program,” an exploration of contemporary U.S. Christian identity politics and internationalist activism.
