service
The obligation of every faculty member to provide service has historical significance for me, because it originated with the development of universities in the Middle Ages. Since 1985, I have been a member of the Norman campus Faculty Senate on three occasions and served on several committees or boards in the University, the College of Arts and Sciences, and in my department. I was particularly grateful for the opportunity to serve on the Campus Departmental Review Committee in 1997-98. I have served as chair or interim chair of the History of Science Department on three separate occasions. From 1990 until 1993, I was director of a postdoctoral fellowship program at the University of Oklahoma, for which the Rockefeller Foundation awarded $155,000. In 1992 and 1993, Jamil Ragep and I organized two international symposia on the transmission of early science, and in Spring 2000, I co-organized a international symposium to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of the History of Science Program at the University of Oklahoma. Beginning in 1988, I was one of two charter
founders of a medieval colloquium at the University of Oklahoma, a body
that eventually grew into the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies.
I also serve as a member of the Réseau International, Acta Artistarum,
La Haye-Paris, which oversees publication of works on medieval universities
and their intellectual culture.
