Barbara Mann is the inaugural Stephen H. Hoffman Professor of Modern Hebrew at Case Western Reserve University. Her interdisciplinary research explores questions of space, memory, and identity, and her latest book, The Object of Jewish Literature: A Material History (Yale University Press, 2022) tells the history of modern Jewish writing through the lens of material culture. Outside the classroom, Mann co-directs CWRU’s New Gutenberg Annex, a campus-based center for letterpress printing and bookmaking.
