Academic Editor

I received my PhD in interdisciplinary studies in 1997, and have held full-time, visiting, and part-time positions in US and UK academic institutions, including Brandeis University, Harvard University, Suffolk University, the University of California at San Francisco, Wellesley College, Boston University, and Lancaster University (UK).  My publications include Figurations: Child, Bodies, Worlds (Duke University Press), as well as a variety of journal articles, book reviews, and edited collections. I have taught at the undergraduate, master’s and PhD levels. Teaching continues to be an important part of my work in addition to editing and translating.      

I love the transformative power of ideas, and the ways in which that power is materialized in the written word.  Working as an editor and translator with academics to make their ideas live gives me tremendous satisfaction and pleasure.  It is tremendously important to me that academics have access to resources for writing and publishing that undercut overwork, isolation, and other obstacles that are not ultimately (or only) personal, but institutional.
