Her book Reconceiving Israel: The fetus in Rabbinic Narratives (UPenn Press) explores how rabbinic traditions on the fetus served to articulate new understandings of Jewishness, gender, and God. Gwynn's current research uses feminist and queer theories to interpret (and critique) rabbinic constructions of gender and the body. She has also published several articles including ``Bodies in Motion: Preliminary Notes on Queer Theory and Rabbinic Literature,`` and is a contributor to Torah Queeries (NYU Press).
