<span style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(33, 35, 37);"><b>Elliot Ratzman</b> is a Visiting Professor in the Religion Department at Earlham College where he teaches
courses in Jewish Studies, ethics and philosophy of religion. An alum of Ohio University and Harvard Divinity School, Ratzman completed his PhD through Princeton’s Religion Department, working with Cornel West, Peter Singer, Jeff Stout and Leora Batnitzky.
Previously, Ratzman taught Jewish Studies in the Religion departments of Swarthmore, Temple, Lawrence University and Grinnell. His scholarship and teachings address the insights that religious traditions bring to political practice, virtue cultivation and
social ethics. Ratzman is finishing a book on the Jewish ethics and anti-racism,
<i>Zipporah’s Knife: A Reckoning with Race</i>. His current research explores a network of pacifist rabbis and thinkers who, in the wake of WWII, constructed a “peace tradition” out of the sources of Judaism. Ratzman is also active in efforts for social justice,
Middle East peace and global health care equity. He serves on the leadership team of Bend the Arc-Jewish Action (Ohio) and serves on the board of Extend Programs in Israel/Palestine. </span></p>

teaching at Brown and then Harvard for six years. Following a dream, she moved to a small farm in upstate NY, where she co-founded Vital Arts, a center for arts and ideas. LaMothe has received fellowships from the Radcliffe Institute of Advanced Study, the
Harvard Center for the Study of World Religions and the Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Council (twice). Recently, Kimerer wrote the book, lyrics and music for
