Janice W. Fernheimer, Assistant Professor, English Department & Program in Jewish Studies
President, Klal Rhetorica

Professor Fernheimer's book project, Rhetoric, Race, Religion: Hatzaad Harishon and Black Jewish Identity from Civil Rights to Black Power (RRR), is under contract with the University of Alabama Press. Analyzing primary archival documents (letters, memos, proposals) housed at the Schomburg Center in New York, RRR focuses on Black Jews and their interactions with other Jews to theorize how rhetors argue about questions of identity and authenticity.
