SCHOLARSHIP AND CREATIVE ACTIVITY i. BOOKS, BOOK CHAPTERS, AND BOOK REWVIEWS Note: All book manuscripts, book chapters, and book reviews were invited and where appropriate refereed according to the process of a major University Press, such as the University of Chicago. The idea that the acceptance of a book, since it is rarely done by blind refereeing is therefore not done by a process of refereeing, flies against logic and history. a.BOOKS:Hearing Things: Voice and Method in the Writing of Stanley Cavell (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1998). b.BOOK CHAPTERS AND ESSAYS: note: An invitation from The English Institute at Harvard or from Cambridge University Press—both resulting in book chapters-is subject to various processes of selection by editors, editorial boards and program committees.

School of Criticism and Theory at Dartmouth College, Summer, 1991 Visiting Fellow, Center for Values and Social Policy, University of Colorado (Boulder), 1990-915. Conferences attended: For a list of the bulk of the conferences attended please consult the list of my public presentations. Until I became a Trustee of the American Society for Aesthetics I almost never attended a conference without making a presentation or a commentary, except for the purposes of participating in a search committee or meeting with editors of Presses or Journals, or officers of the American Philosophical Society. I continue to attend the American society for Aesthetics, and, now that my trusteeship is over, I will renew my participation in the more public part of the program.G. Service (selected, mostly since 1998) (The Department Guidelines indicate our awareness of multi-tasked services. E.g. a Trustee of an established National organization or Reviewing manuscripts or tenure cases benefits the departmental, the school, the college, the academic community, and the wider community of human culture which these institutions serve.) 1. Department (and School): a. Director of ¯The Metro Philosophy Colloquium¯, from its founding in 1991 until the fall of 1999, and again since 2003. Presented two colloquia of my own in the last two and a half years. b. Wrote letters for part timers, for the Golden Key Adjunct Professor of the Year Award, gaining two of the four, in the first year. (This also helps the program get going--please consult Lyn Wycklegren [now retired] on this--and helped communication between Philosophy and Women’s studies, since one instructor often taught cross-listed courses. c. Participated on four departmental search committees, 1994-98 (including functioning as chair of two of them, 1997-98, two more searches 2005-6 (this counts only successful searches). d. Formal mentoring of two new faculty in the department, 1998-99. e. Gave a lecture/demonstration for E.C. Cunningham’s drawing class, “Drawing and Painting in Historical Perspectives”, November, 2004. f. Conducted two workshops on teaching and philosophy, for students, part-time and full time faculty 1998-9.2. School: assisted Dean Foster in locating and arranging for a speaker suitable for a range of Humanistic interests (Prof. Barbara Packer of the English Department at UCLA, spoke at Metro in FEBRUARY, 2001). I continued to act in this capacity. 3. College: Summer: 2000, devised and co-taught with Dean James Robertson a course entitled “Ethics at Work”. This went some distance for both of us in understanding the difficulties of the Business Ethics Program, and also facilitated further communication between the schools of Business and of Letters, Arts and Sciences. This sort of communication is rare on this campus, and it seems to me very valuable.4. Community: Talks at Colorado Book Fair (November 20, 1999) and Tattered Cover (January 15, 1999). [See explanatory note: I include these as service, not as professional development.] Informal liaison between Metro faculty and faculty at Greater Denver area elementary schools. Parent Helper (2005-06) at elementary student learning sessions (“Centers”). (Four primary areas [Computers, Science of Smell, Shape recognition, art design) and more than 15 secondary.) Informal (unpaid) consultant to local area literary study group. On behalf of Dean J.M. Foster presented a one hour talk to the Colorado Society of the Humanities, in Autumn, 1988, entitled Misogyny and Sublimity 5. [Since 1996] Professional: a. Refereed manuscripts for Stanford, Cambridge, Bucknell, Routledge, Chicago Presses] b. Refereed articles for Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism, 1994- present; c, Refereed or assisted on promotion cases for (this semester) City College of New York (promotion to full professor) and in recent years Bucknell, UCD, and DU. (Promotion to full or associate.) d.Trustee, American Society for Aesthetics, 1997-2000.6. Honors/Awards: a) Presidential award for Scholarship, MSCD, 2004 a) 2000: Golden Key Scholar of the Year Award b) Elected Trustee of the American Society for Aesthetics, 1997
