Biography

Helene Meyers was born in Brooklyn, New York. She received her education at Pennsylvania State University (B.A.), University of Florida (M.A.), and Indiana University (Ph.D.).[1]

Meyers often tacklles feminist, antisemitism, and queer themes as well as literary and film studies. In her book, Movie-Made Jews, she explored the onscreen depictions of antisemitism, assimilation, the Holocaust, queer Jews, intersectional alliances, and feminism.[2] She also argued that movies are important because they help in forming "our images of ourselves, others, and the world."[2] Her works had been published in Lilith, Forward, Tablet, Ms. Magazine’s Blog, the Washington Independent Review of Books, the Chronicle of Higher Education, and Inside Higher Education.[3] Her feminist publications included an analogy of gender discrimination to a component of a Gothic world where women are continuously at risk as they roam the streets, make love in their bedrooms, enter their gynecologists' office, or when they consume and produce culture.[4]

She serves as Professor of English and McManis University Chair at Southwestern University. She is Jewish, and a native New Yorker.[5][6]
