From his role in launching the alternative Jewish press as a student in the 1960s to his contributions today as one of the most respected voices in Jewish literary scholarship, Professor Alan Mintz has always thought and written passionately and provocatively about the challenges of Jewish survival and the richness of Jewish culture. Co-founder of two seminal Jewish intellectual journals—Response and Prooftexts—Mintz has authored/edited seven books on topics ranging from modern Hebrew literature to the shaping of Holocaust memory in American popular culture. Professor Mintz has joined the faculty of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, where he holds the Chana Kekst Professorship in Hebrew Literature, after ten years teaching at Brandeis University.
