SCHOLARSHIP AREAS OF PROFESSIONAL INTEREST TEXTUAL EDITING—Editor in Chief, “The Writings of James Fenimore Cooper” (2002-) Since l98l I served on the permanent staff of the Cooper Edition as an associate textual editor reporting to James Franklin Beard (Editor-in-Chief) at Clark University. In 1990, I was appointed to the Editorial Board, chaired by Professor Kay Seymour House, who succeeded Professor Beard. These positions involved advisory responsibilities for volumes presently planned or under way. In 2002 I was appointed Editor in Chief of the edition, succeeding Professor House, and also joined the Advisory Board, ex officio. To date, the following titles have been published under my editorship; seven more are in advance preparation and under contract. 2002. The Spy: A Tale of the Neutral Ground, edited by James Elliott, Lance Schachterle and Jeffrey Walker. 2004. Afloat and Ashore; or, The Adventures of Miles Wallingford, edited by Thomas and Marianne Philbrick. Two volumes. 2009. Ned Myers; or, A Life before the Mast, edited by Robert and Karen Lentz Madison. 2010 The Water-Witch, or the Skimmer of the Seas, edited by Thomas and Marianne Philbrick. I also serve as senior Advisory Editor to Literature and the Early American Republic: Annual Studies on Cooper and His Contemporaries (AMS Press; edited by Jeffrey Walker and Matthew Wynn Sivils). LEAR was awarded the honor of “best new journal” in 2010 by the Council of Editors of Learned Journals. In July 2007 to July 2009 I served as the first president of the reorganized James Fenimore Cooper Society. SCIENCE AND LITERATURE In the early 1980's, I worked with colleagues to establish an inter-disciplinary scholarly organization to promote discussion of the relationships between literature and science. This initiative led to the inauguration of the Society for Literature and Science (SLS) in 1985, at the 17th International Congress of the History and Philosophy of Science at Berkeley, California. At that meeting, I was elected first president of SLS. In that capacity, I organized all administrative, governance and legal arrangements for this incorporated, non-profit organization. I also served as general chair for the first SLS annual conference in October 1987. I remain a member of the Society, and of the Executive Committee.
