Adam Teller is professor of Judaic studies and history at Brown University and a fellow of the American Academy for Jewish Research. He is the author of Money, Power, and Influence in Eighteenth-Century Lithuania: The Jews on the Radziwiłł Estates (Stanford 2016) and Rescue the Surviving Souls: The Great Jewish Refugee Crisis of the Seventeenth Century (Princeton 2020; winner of the Rachel Feldhay Brenner Award in Polish-Jewish Studies and finalist for the 2020 National Jewish Book Award in History). Teller’s work at the Katz Center examined how the Polish Jewish refugees displaced by the mid-seventeenth-century wars in Eastern Europe affected translocal and transregional systems that connected world Jewry in those years.
