Manuscript Workshop: Aslan Cohen Mizrahi

Perilman Postdoctoral Fellow, Aslan Cohen Mizrahi, presents his book manuscript "At the Limits of Sovereignty: Power, Voice, and Gender in the Priestly History (P)." Professors Liane Feldman (Princeton) and Joel Baden (Yale) join a panel of Duke Professors to discuss Cohen Mizrahi's work which explores how the idea of sovereignty forms and informs the work of narrative prose that biblical scholars call the Priestly History (P). This workshop is by invitation, please contact the Center for Jewish Studies if you would like to participate. Aslan Cohen Mizrahi is Perilman Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Jewish Studies at Duke University. Born and raised in Mexico City, Aslan earned a BA in Economics from ITAM and a BA in Philosophy from UNAM. In 2014, Aslan moved to Chicago to pursue an MA in Religious Studies at the University of Chicago, where he later received a PhD in Hebrew Bible (2024). His interests range from the narrative voicing in the Pentateuchal Priestly History to the uses of biblical texts in the wake of the Holocaust. He lives in Durham with his wife and two children.
