B.A. Princeton University; Ph.D. Columbia University
Daniel Schwartz comes to GWU from Cogate University, where he serves as a postdoctoral fellow in Jewish History for 2006-2007. At Columbia he studied under Michael Stanislawski and Yosef H. Yerushalmi, writing his dissertation on "The Spinoza Image in Jewish Culture, 1656-1956," a history of the shifting perception of the heretical Jewish philosopher Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677) in the modern Jewish mind. In addition to working to convert his dissertation into a book, Dr. Schwartz is also currently engaged in the production of a documentary reader that will bring together a variety of responses to Spinoza in modern Jewish thought and literature. Among other projects he is presently working on is an article on the relationship between Haskalah and Kabbalah and a new study on the ghetto in Jewish history and Jewish memory.
