 Stephanie L. Johnson earned her B.A. in English and religion from St.
Olaf College and her M.A. in English from the University of Minnesota,
Minneapolis. She recently completely her Ph.D. in English from the
University of Washington, Seattle. Her primary interests are in
Victorian literature, early twentieth-century British literature,
literature by women, and narrative ethics. Her dissertation,
"Interrogating Time: The Ethics of Epiphany in Wordsworth, Tennyson,
Barrett Browning, and Woolf," resists the standard identification of one
genealogy of literary epiphany by identifying two distinct strains in
the works of four British writers-the typical self-centered instant of
illumination and the kind, she says, "that reaches for eternity with the
flux of time and moves the self away from its ontological primacy."

 James R. Skillen earned his B.S. from Wheaton College in environmental science, his M.A. in theology from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and his Ph.D. in Natural Resource Policy from Cornell University. He works at the intersection of environmental policy, history, and ethics, with a particular focus on federally owned lands and resources in the United States. His current book manuscript, The Nation’s Largest Landlord: The Bureau of Land Management’s Changing Role in the American West, provides the first comprehensive, scholarly history of the Bureau of Land Management, which manages as much land as Texas and California combined. The manuscript is currently under review and can be expected in 2008 or 2009. His new research project focuses on the history of “ecosystem management” and its application by federal agencies.
