 Preston H. Kelsey Professor of
Religion
Susan Ackerman joined the Religion Department in 1990 after teaching at the
University of Arizona and at Winthrop College in South Carolina. She is a
specialist in the religion of ancient Israel and the religions of Israel's
neighbors (Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Canaan), an interest she first developed as
an undergraduate religion major at Dartmouth (A.B., 1980) and continued to
explore in graduate school at Harvard (M.T.S., 1982; Ph.D., 1987).
Her publications include several articles and three books, Under Every
Green Tree: Popular Religion in Sixth-Century Judah (Scholars Press,
1992); Warrior, Dancer, Seductress, Queen: Women in Judges and Biblical
Israel (Doubleday, 1998); and When Heroes Love: The Ambiguity of Eros
in the Stories of Gilgamesh and David (Columbia University Press,
2005). Professor Ackerman is also a member of the faculty of the
Program of Women's and Gender
Studies at Dartmouth, and she is currently serving as the Chair of the
Religion Department.
