Alexei M. Sivertsev is the Professor at DePaul University Department of Religious Studies. He received his B.A. from the Historical Archival Institute, Russia State University for the Humanities, and M.A. and Ph.D. in Hebrew and Judaic studies from New York University. His research focuses on the study of Jewish cultural dynamics in late antiquity. Sivertsev was awarded a Fulbright Distinguished Scholar Fellowship for his project “Text and Image in the Sepphoris Synagogue Mosaic: Towards a Nonprogrammatic Reading.” He will explore the fifth-century synagogue floor mosaic in the city of Sepphoris in Lower Galilee and church mosaics in the neighboring sites of Horvat Kenes and Khirbet Bata, both in the vicinity of the present-day town of Carmiel. The project is part of a broader attempt to understand how a variety of religious, ethnic, and linguistic communities in late Roman Palestine constructed their symbolic environments and imagined themselves in relation to these environments.
