Early life and education edit

Rachel Feldhay was born in Zabrze, Poland, the daughter of Michael Feldhay and Helena Feldhay.[1] She moved to Israel with her family in 1956.[2] She earned a bachelor's degree at Hebrew University, a master's degree at Tel Aviv University, and a PhD at York University.[3][4]

Career edit

Brenner joined the faculty of the University of Wisconsin in 1992, in the Department of Hebrew and Semitic Studies. She chaired the department from 2004 to 2007. She was a senior fellow at the Institute for Research in the Humanities,[4] a fellow at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum,[5] and president of the Association for Israel Studies from 2007 to 2009.[6] She served on the board of the Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences of America (PIASA).[3] "It is my belief," she explained of her work, "that literature affects human consciousness and effects change in social practices, yet its impact is imperceptible, often delayed, and hard to measure."[7]

Brenner published seven books, and more than 80 articles in academic journals[2] including Modern Judaism,[8] Comparative Literature Studies,[9] Studies in American Jewish Literature,[10] Israel Studies,[11] Slavic Review,[12] AJS Review,[13] Jewish Studies Quarterly,[14] Discourse,[15] Studies in Religion,[16] Holocaust and Genocide Studies,[17] and Critical Inquiry.[18] In 1992 she won the Canadian Jewish Book Award for literary criticism.[3]
