Dr. Lea Taragin-Zeller is a social anthropologist. Situated at the intersection of the anthropology of religion, gender and bio-medicine, Lea’s research explores how ‘secular’ and scientific knowledge is negotiated among ethnic and faith minorities, influencing their decisions and raising new ethical dilemmas. More specifically, her research explores how religious minorities in both Israel (especially ultra-Orthodox Jews) and the UK (Jews and Muslims) integrate and reconcile frameworks of gender equality and science knowledge alongside faith, religious theology and authority.
