Dear Colleagues:
I hope we might see some more introductions from individuals subscribed to the list, so that we might better think together how this group can serve those who are part of it....
Thanks for starting us off, Jan. To (re-)introduce myself to the Klal, my name's Michael Bernard-Donals, and I'm a professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I teach in the rhetoric program and currently serving as the Vice Provost for Faculty and Staff. When Jan invited me to become a member of the Klal when it was founded I agreed because there just weren't spaces in the field where discussions about Jewish matters, well, mattered.
Dear Klal Rhetorica/H-Jewishrhetorics members:
