About Magda Teter

As a scholar of early modern religious and cultural history, I teach a broad variety of courses in Jewish history, early modern European history, religious and cultural history of the pre-modern era, and history of antisemitsm. In my research I specialize in Jewish-Christian relations, antisemitism, and Jewish historiography. I have curated several exhibits, including "Easter and Passover a Season of Polemic," and most recently, together with Fordham's students "Haggadah and History: Highlights from Fordham's Collection." My work has been supported by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation (2012), the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation (2007 and 2012), the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture, the Koret Foundation, YIVO Institute, and the Yad Ha-Nadiv Foundation (Israel), among others. In 2002, I was a Harry Starr Fellow at Harvard University. In the academic year 2007-2008, I was an Emeline Bigelow Conland Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies at Harvard University; in 2017-2018, the Mellon Foundation Fellow at the Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library, and in 2020-2021, the NEH Senior Scholar at the Center for Jewish History.
