Mark Blackwell, associate professor of English, College of Arts and Sciences, delivered a paper on Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park at the annual convention of the Modern Language Association in Washington, D.C, in December, and will present another, on Laurence Sterne’s Tristram Shandy, at the annual conference of the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies in Montreal at the end of March.

His essay on Edmund Burke’s aesthetic philosophy, entitled “The Sublimity of Taste,” recently appeared in Philological Quarterly, and his article on John Locke’s theory of personal identity and its reception in the eighteenth century was just published in Studies in Eighteenth-Century Culture. His essay on Austen’s Emma, entitled “Harriet’s ‘Tooth Amiss,’” is also forthcoming this spring in Modern Philology.

Blackwell is chair of both the English Department and the Department of Rhetoric, Language, and Culture.


Susan Coleman, professor of finance, Barney School of Business, has had an article entitled "The Impact of Human Capital Measures on Firm Performance: A Comparison by Gender, Race and Ethnicity" published in the Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance and Business Ventures.

An earlier article on women’s entrepreneurship by Coleman has been reprinted as a "classic" article in Women and Entrepreneurship, edited by C.G. Brush, N.M. Carter, E.J. Gatewood, P.G. Greene, and M.M. Hart. The title of that article, originally published in the Journal of Small Business Management, is “Access to Capital and Terms of Credit: A Comparison of Men- and Women-owned Small Businesses.”
