German journalist with the right skills reports from Israel

In the current war in the Middle East Sophie von der Mann is reporting for German public broadcaster ARD.

She has a degree in theology and oriental studies

Her undergraduate dissertation focused on Christian Reformation history, and analysed how anniversary celebrations in 19th century Germany reflected the changing significance of Martin Luther as an avatar for rising German nationalism. 

She is interested in the intersections of religion, culture and politics and would like to study further the phenomenon of “reform” in Christian Reformation history, modern Islamic thought and the varieties of modern Judaism.

The right person to have reporting from Israel/Palestine at present.
