Dr. Gregg Gardner has been awarded the Jody Ellant and Howard Reiter Family Fellowship at the Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Jewish Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. He will be in residence at Penn during the Spring 2020 semester and on leave from UBC.
The Katz Center’s fellowship program takes roughly twenty scholars each year for stays of varying length to conduct research on a shared annual theme within the field of Judaic studies.
While in Philadelphia, Gregg will pursue his research project, “Lighting the Way: Doorways into the Late-Antique Jewish Home,” which draws upon his ongoing research and fieldwork at the archaeological site of Horvat Midras in Israel.
