Katharina Galor works at the intersection of visual culture, heritage, and identity, with a particular focus on Israel–Palestine. Trained in art history and archaeology, she explores how built environments, images, and objects shape narratives across Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions—from antiquity to the present day, with a growing emphasis on contemporary contexts. She engages questions of memory, belonging, and justice through an interdisciplinary lens, with sustained attention to gender and feminist critique.

She has taught and lectured in France, Germany, Israel, and the United States, and currently teaches in the Program in Judaic Studies and the Center for Middle East Studies at Brown University. Her research and public scholarship often bring Israeli and Palestinian perspectives into conversation, bridging academic inquiry with cultural and political concerns.

Through exhibitions, publications, and collaborative projects, Katharina examines the moral and aesthetic dimensions of cultural expression in contested spaces. Her work reflects a commitment to dialogue across disciplines, communities, and histories.
