Biography : 

Ina is a PhD student in the Department for the Study of Religion and the Center for Jewish Studies. She has a background in political science (BA) and theological studies (MA). Her principal aim is to explore new conceptual frameworks that capture the intricacies of the interaction between religious and political life in the early modern state. As a case study, she is especially interested in the thought of Thomas Hobbes and in his particular (and peculiar) use of the Hebrew Bible as a main source for modern political theory.
