Katharina Galor is a scholar of visual and material culture whose research examines heritage, identity, and memory in Israel-Palestine. Trained in art history and archaeology, she studies how images, objects, and built environments shape cultural and political narratives across Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions from antiquity to the present. She teaches in the Program in Judaic Studies at Brown University and is affiliated with the Center for Middle East Studies. She is the author and editor of several scholarly books, including Finding Jerusalem: Archaeology between Science and Ideology (2017, University of California Press), The Moral Triangle: Germans, Israelis, Palestinians (2020; co-authored with Sa’ed Atshan, Duke University Press), and Jewish Women: Between Conformity and Agency (2023, Routledge). Her most recent book, Out of Gaza: A Tale of Love, Exile, and Friendship (2025, Potomac Books), explores exile, cross-cultural friendship, and the human dimensions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and received the Grand Prize Gold Award for Overall Nonfiction from the Reader Views Literary Awards and an Award of Excellence from the Religion Communicators Council Wilbur Awards. A French edition, Fuir Gaza: Amour, exil et amitié, will appear in 2026 with Éditions Edern.
