Editorial Activity

In addition to scholarship and teaching, I have worked in book editing for more than fifteen years. I specialize in developmental and substantive editing of academic and professional nonfiction. My editing informs and improves my teaching and scholarship; editorial work challenges me to be conversant beyond my own field and to continually test theories against real-world applications.
