Radner's father was American economist Roy Radner.[3] Radner completed a Master of Arts at University of California at Berkeley, and a PhD titled Shopping around: locating feminine enunciation through textual practice at the University of Texas at Austin.[4] Radner was appointed Foundation Chair of Film and Media Studies at the University of Otago in 2002,[5][6] after having been an associate professor at the University of Notre Dame.[7] Radner was appointed professor emerita at Otago in 2017.[5]
Radner's research covers feminist film and media studies, and representations of gender in visual culture. Besides film and television, she has written on topics including make-up, fashion photography and women's magazines, celebrity culture, and New Zealand fashion.[8][9] In 2017 Radner and Vicki Karaminas edited a special issue of the journal Fashion Theory on the moving image and fashion. The issue contained papers from a two-day conference convened by Radner and Karaminas at Massey University in 2017, called "The End of Fashion”.[10][11]
In 2019, Radner founded RDS Art Gallery in Dunedin, along with Inge Doesburg and Marie Strauss. She now runs the gallery.[12]
In 2011, Radner and Natalie Smith curated New Zealand's first exhibition of NOM*d garments and memorabilia from NOM*d founder Margarita Robertson. The exhibition, titled Nom*d: The Art of Fashion, was held at the Eastern Southland Gallery in Gore, and contained more than 70 garments.[2]
Radner was a judge of the 2019 New Zealand Collarts Atom Awards.[10]
