...provides opportunities for questions and disagreement that are not always the case at a university like this,” Bertelsmann said. Wisse’s colleagues echoed these words of praise. “She is a distinguished intellectual in her field,” said Professor of Hebrew Literature and Philosophy Shaye J.D. Cohen.
