A Q&A with our new public health editor, Kelley Squazzo

Kelley Squazzo joined the staff here at JHU Press at the end of last month after working for five years at Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, where she held positions as a managing editor in medical education and an acquisitions editor in health professions. She has taught literature and humanities courses and more recently taught in the electronic media and film department at Towson University. The newest member of our acquisitions team, Kelley’s been tasked with bringing fresh focus and insight to our public health and epidemiology list. Her primary public health interests include women’s health, economics, health policy, and health communication.

Q: So, after more than a decade on the commercial side of our business you’ve jumped to the university press world. What prompted this switch and how do you expect acquiring books for the JHU Press will differ from doing so at Lippincott Williams & Wilkins?

A: I’ve always wanted to work at a university press, working closely with authors to acquire and develop scholarly works. I love the atmosphere of discovery and learning that a university provides—and the Press takes that purpose even beyond the university setting, encouraging and fostering lifelong learning for a world audience.

Working in the health professions was rewarding because the books I acquired at LWW were used for workforce preparedness and job placement in a variety of careers. Despite the importance of these books and their hardworking authors, the subject matter can be lackluster at times. Medical coding and billing, for example, is not the most stimulating subject, in my opinion! I believe acquiring books at the Press will be more challenging in terms of subject matter and I look forward to engaging in enlightening conversations with authors and learning about a wide range of topics from my colleagues’ proposals as well.

Q: Public health can be defined very broadly, and books in the subject area vary widely. What types of projects—e.g., course-use, professional books, trade publications—can we expect to see coming through the pipeline when you’re all settled in?

A: As I learn more and more about the various curricula in public health programs and explore the books used in classrooms, I think books that connect science to contemporary issues with research stories, clinical vignettes, and various electronic media are great for engaging today’s student in a way that promotes critical thinking, problem solving, and lively classroom discussions.  I love our forthcoming title, Tapping into The Wire. It’s a page-turner that discusses a widely popular TV show and how it dives deeply into public health issues like drug addiction, obesity, violence, and poverty. This is a perfect classroom text as well as what I am sure will be a tremendous public interest book. These are the types of books I would like to publish: books that cross over the course-use and trade areas of our portfolio. I think these types of books are really resonating with today’s student as well as the general reading public. Also expect to see core textbooks in the field that will rival competitive publishers’ and potential digital projects on the horizon.

Q: How would you characterize the degree of difficulty in getting quality public health books out of professionals working in the field? Does a robust public health list also have room for books by journalists and other nonspecialists?

A: We are very fortunate to have the largest public health school in the world [the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health] with 597 full-time and 751 part-time faculty members who not only teach in the classroom and lab, but lead and effect change in national and international arenas. There’s a wealth of research going on at Bloomberg and other top public health schools, so I will be reaching out close to home, as well as globally, to find the best authors for the Press. I suspect, as in most fields, the challenge will be for authors balancing teaching and time for writing. The best authors are often the busiest!

I believe journalists have an in-the-moment lens into many public health topics like violence, food safety, and various health emergencies. This close perspective coupled with a public health expert could provide a compelling view into issues that really resonates with some of our readers. I definitely will not discount the role of the nonspecialist as I grow the list.

Q: What public health topics do you see as having the greatest potential to capture the attention of the book-reading general public?

A: Presently, I think health care reform is at the forefront of public discourse. Vaccination always seems to be a hot topic. For example, the recent measles resurgence is interesting and is helping to foster the perpetual debate over whether or not to vaccinate children. I also believe nutrition, diet, and alternative medicine are of interest to the book-reading general public.

Q: What are you reading for personal enjoyment these days? Got a favorite JHU Press book?

A: Right now I am reading The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka, which my book club will discuss next week! My favorite JHU Press book so far is Mary Elizabeth Garrett: Society and Philanthropy in the Gilded Age, by Kathleen Waters Sander. I attended the author reception a few years ago. Dr. Sander does an excellent job presenting the extraordinary story of a woman who used her pioneering thinking and great wealth to help equalize higher education opportunities for women.

Refuseniks

Guest post by Yaacov Ro’i

In August 1979 I attended the International Political Science Congress in Moscow. There I had the privilege of directly experiencing the subject of my academic work, the Soviet regime and Soviet society. Even more exciting, however, was that every evening and weekend over the course of three weeks I met with Jewish refuseniks in Moscow, Leningrad, and Kiev. Since then I have felt an urge to research this incredible community. Coming from the core of the Soviet intelligentsia, these people created their own counter-world in the very heart of the Soviet metropolises. Their every activity and their keen intentness and enthusiasm stood in sharp contrast to the lethargy and apathy of their Soviet peers from whom they had cut themselves off.

The contributors to my new volume The Jewish Movement in the Soviet Union are in part Western scholars of my generation who underwent a similar initiation to my own, in part younger scholars who view the Soviet Union from the perspective of the present looking at something past, and in part people who participated in the struggle for Soviet Jewish emigration. Two of these participants are from inside the Soviet Union and the third, former Secretary of State George P. Shultz, was one of the most influential and zealous Western supporters of the Soviet Jewish emigration movement.

The topic of this book is central to the drama of the disintegration of the Soviet superpower and to the arc of Jewish history in the last three decades of the 20th century. The purpose of the book is not to describe the heroism of the refusenik activists; this has been done elsewhere. Our objective is to demonstrate and analyze how the Jewish movement was born, how it operated, and why and how it succeeded. This volume also shows the ways the Soviet regime reacted to the movement and dwells on the interaction of Jewish movement activists with other Soviet dissidents and the differences between the two communities. Its novelty lies in its thematic probes of a broad range of important issues and its methodologically heterogeneous, but always rigorous, approach to a subject that has drawn much emotional attention.

Yaacov Ro’i is professor of history emeritus at the Cummings Center for Russian and Eastern European Studies at Tel Aviv University and the editor of The Jewish Movement in the Soviet Union, now available from the Woodrow Wilson Center Press and JHU Press.

The epic is dead . . . or is it?

Guest post by Christopher N. Phillips

What place does storytelling have in literary history today?  I didn’t expect this to be a central question in my book, Epic in American Culture, but the more I explored the topic, the more I realized that storytelling caused many of the problems I faced in this project—and story was a key part of the solution as well.

To start with, epic has always been bound up with story, hailed since Aristotle’s time as the quintessential form of narrative verse in the West. And there was no shortage of narrative material about epic, either: epic was the ancient form that gave way to the modern novel, it was the genre that died with Milton, and it was the term that ceased to mean anything by the late twentieth century.

These stories were rehearsed over and over again in scholarship, book and film reviews, and cultural criticism. And yet it seemed that nobody could stop claiming epic status for their most revered works—Moby Dick, Leaves of Grass, The Birth of a Nation, Beloved. This left with me with the questions of why Americans were so eager to see epic die, and why they couldn’t let it rest in peace.

As I continued my research, I found myself drawn to the lives of the authors I studied, as it became increasingly clear that the stories of the Iliad, the Odyssey, Paradise Lost, and the Divine Comedy didn’t travel by osmosis. The many authors who wrote epic works in early America had specific encounters with these texts that shaped their own horizons of what was allowable, and what was possible, in epic form. (Take the case of poet Timothy Dwight, who permanently damaged his eyesight by parsing Homer before dawn in college; when he returned to Yale years later as president, he campaigned to remove Homer from the curriculum.)

Alongside authors’ lives, the genre itself grew dramatically in geographic scope in the years between 1770 and 1870, seeing the first publications (either at all or in translation) of Beowulf, the Kalevala, the Divine Comedy, Gilgamesh, and the Mahabharata, among many others. Epic didn’t look the same after the Civil War in part because the canon had changed so much.

As I learned of these intertexts,  the story of epic literature also became much more interdisciplinary than I had anticipated. I found that early interpreters of the U.S. Constitution, reaching back to the ratification era, used epic as an analogy (and even a source) for the new supreme law. Epic became a gate-keeping term in American art as canons of taste emerged to support the professionalization of the fine arts. At the same time, the term came to mean “economic blockbuster” in the press, revealing a curious tension between academic canons and market forces that often elevated eye-popping works for a generation and then left their creators ignored by the art world soon after their deaths. (Benjamin West, Thomas Cole, and Emanuel Leutze all rode this roller coaster.)

Where did all this leave the literary history I had set out to write? The forms of texts turned out to have stories of their own, but they came into focus only in the midst of stories of lives, of careers, of professions, and of images of the past continually revised in the here and now. It turns out that epic didn’t stop meaning something; it simply moved beyond the literary into the aesthetic and cultural realms, and it’s still driving much of our mass culture today. From last summer’s box-office hits to today’s agonistic news coverage of elections and other crises, the story of American epic starts in medias res, and it isn’t over yet.

Christopher N. Phillips is an assistant professor of English at Lafayette College and the author of Epic in American Culture: Settlement to Reconstruction, which just came off press. This post is derived from Professor Phillips’s presentation at the 2012 meeting of the American Society for Eighteenth Century Studies. The views expressed here belong to the author and in no way reflect the official opinion of the JHU Press.

Book giveaway: translate this!

The United States invaded Iraq nine years ago yesterday. And with combat troops out of that nation and plans to withdraw from Afghanistan well under way–despite some ongoing controversy–international relations scholar Mark N. Katz’s newest book, Leaving without Losing: The War on Terror after Iraq and Afghanistan, is a timely argument for viewing America’s disengagement from the two theaters of war as a strategic move that will lead to victory over radical Islam in the long term.

With that in mind–and Leaving without Losing due out now very soon (go figure, the book’s available already. Thought someone would have told us. – ed.)–we’re offering our readers a crack at a free copy of the book. In January, independent journalist Iara Mantiñán Bua interviewed professor Katz about the simmering tensions between Israel and Iran over the latter nation’s alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons. The interview is published in Spanish and we’ll give one free copy of Leaving without Losing to the first, most accurate translation of the interview, as judged by Ms. Bua. Simply send your translation to Brendan Coyne. We’ll announce the winner and post the winning translation here.

Recent titles, rave reviews, and other news

February was a banner month for the JHU Press. We were invited into Amish homes, celebrated International Polar Bears Day, and launched a video series that stars the “academic verve” of our journal editors (more on that below). Here’s some more of what we’ve been up to in Charm City lately. Let’s hope March is just as exciting!

Journals news

Recently released books

Rave reviews

Publishers Weekly recently saluted Ronald P. Formisano’s soon-to-be-published The Tea Party “for providing even-handed perspective on and clarifying misconceptions about America’s recent political phenomenon,” while The Huffington Post hailed award-winning author Richard Burgin as “one of our best short story writers.”

A Tea Party demise? Not so

Guest post by Ronald P. Formisano

In the days before Mitt Romney’s primary victory in the Nevada caucuses on February 4, one prominent story line coming out of the Silver State focused on the inability of  Romney’s Tea Party opponents to unite behind one of his rivals. The Tea Partiers, according to several reports, were divided and worse, irrelevant. The Washington Post summarized the perceived problem with the Tea Party in its Worst Week in Washington feature this past Sunday. Two years after elevating a previously obscure state senator, Sharron Angle, to take down Democratic Senate majority leader Harry Reid, and losing, Tea Party Nevadans now were in factional disarray, dividing their support among Ron Paul, Rick Santorum, and Newt Gingrich.

And the drumbeat continues today, even after Rick Santorum’s big—and surprising—wins in the nonbinding caucuses in Minnesota, Colorado, and Missouri. In a recently published National Journal piece titled “Failed Candidates and Faded Icons Reflect Tea Party’s Decline,” Naureen Khan contends:

 Resignation seems to be the overriding mood among tea party activists around the country. In the aftermath of the 2010 midterm elections, this headless coalition of citizen-warriors—enraged by what they saw as out-of-control federal spending and government overreach—was lionized for helping the GOP capture a majority in the House of Representatives and post impressive gains in the Senate and statehouses across the country.

Two years later, there’s mounting evidence that tea party influence is on the wane, particularly when it comes to the biggest race of all.

These analyses miss the Tea Party’s continuing importance on at least two counts. First, that Mitt did quite well in Nevada among voters who described themselves as “very conservative” and reasonably well among Tea Party supporters. Among the 50,000 Republican Nevadans who participated in caucuses, Romney’s fellow Mormons joined with conservative and Tea Party voters to give him a comfortable win. Most significant for Romney, it seemed that many voters who were expected to reject him as not conservative enough were making a pragmatic choice to pick a likely winner.

Second, to claim that the Tea Party somehow became irrelevant is to overlook the way the movement has transformed the primary voting base of the Republican party, moving it to the extreme right. Every Republican debate has provided overwhelming evidence of this as each candidate—with the exception of the departed Jon Huntsman—tried to position himself to the right of his rivals by hewing to Tea Party mantras of small government, cutting spending, ending government regulations, and opposing tax increases of any kind. Sal Russo pointed out as much in the very same National Journal article quoted above:

Sal Russo, cofounder of the California-based Tea Party Express and a GOP consultant, sees a bright side in the fluctuating loyalties of tea party primary voters. He calls it evidence that all of the Republican candidates have incorporated tea party principles into their platforms. “I’m happy that it’s like fishing at a fish farm. You’re guaranteed the rainbow trout,” Russo said. “There’s four good candidates . . . and we’re happy to let the process play out.”

Add in Santorum’s explicit embrace of the Tea Party in his speech last night after winning the Missouri caucuses and we have even more evidence that we are looking at a movement that is very much alive and relevant.

Ronald P. Formisano is the William T. Bryan Chair of American History at the University of Kentucky. His book The Tea Party: A Brief History will be out next month.

The High Holy Days of Biology are here

Guest post by John L. Koprowski

For many, the days of winter may seem endless. Perhaps the shininess of the New Year has begun to dull. But there is reason to celebrate! The “High Holy Days of Biology” are upon us. To the student and professional or lay biologist, the excitement of this festive season continues! I share with my students at the University of Arizona each year the “biologically important” days of winter.

Eastern Gray Squirrel

January 21st got things rolling with “Squirrel Appreciation Day.” And just who cannot appreciate a squirrel? For some, we may marvel at their ability to raid the birdfeeder and utter the occasional curse word not quite loud enough for our neighbor to hear. But look again as that squirrel descends a tree and notice how it rotates its ankle 180 degrees from the normal forward position and tell me that that flexibility alone does not deserve a day of appreciation. And so, for the eastern gray squirrels and fox squirrels that have scatterhoarded the fall bounty of nuts or the red squirrel that has piled the winter’s supply of pine cones into a larder, we will raise a spoonful of peanut butter (although I prefer Nutella for a chocolate fix) in recognition.

February 2nd arouses from hibernation the talented and revered rodent prognosticators to apply their skills on Groundhog Day. The morning news shows will provide coast-to-coast coverage of this most important event. Complete the day with a warm beverage, the internal calm that comes with the knowledge of when winter will end, and the classic Bill Murray movie of the same name.

Finally (and yes, you WILL likely already be exhausted from the previous two celebrations), get the birthday cake in the oven to celebrate on February 12th the birthday of Charles Darwin and his formulation of evolution by natural selection! On the very same day in the very same year (1809) across the Atlantic Ocean in a one-room log cabin on a Kentucky farm, a baby boy, Abraham Lincoln, was born. A pretty good day in history! For me, I also get to delight in the birth of a third incredibly influential person, my mother, Judith Koprowski (although I am certain that she would want me to note that the birth year was not the same as for the other two guys! In fact, the year will go unmentioned!).

Please continue to rejoice and celebrate the “High Holy Days of Biology” this winter . . . there is much to appreciate!

John L. Koprowski is a professor of Natural Resources and the Environment at the University of Arizona. He teaches courses in ecology and conservation and researches these topics on a variety of wildlife species at various levels of conservation threat. He is the coauthor of three books on squirrels, including Squirrels of the World forthcoming this fall from the Johns Hopkins University Press.

Personalized medicine: Are we there yet?

Guest post by Sue Friedman, DVM 

Recommendations in preventive care and screenings have long been based on average risks for the general population. Heart disease, for example, is on average a later-onset disease, so most children and young adults are not screened for it. The same is true for cancer.

One look around any crowded room tells us that we are not all the same. Many factors, including our genetic makeup, help determine how we look, how we behave, and even when and what diseases we are likely and unlikely to develop.

Scientists know from studying thousands of people that most women who are diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer will be postmenopausal. Averages aside, many of us know of people who were diagnosed with heart disease or cancer much earlier in life, too often with devastating outcomes. When breast cancer strikes at a young age, it is often more aggressive and already advanced before it is detected. Yet many of us also know people who lived their entire life to old age without developing either cancer or heart disease. In the past, recommendations for health screenings such as mammography and colonoscopy were the same for everyone, based on observations of the general population. 

One look around any crowded room tells us that we are not all the same. Many factors, including our genetic makeup, help determine how we look, how we behave, and even when and what diseases we are likely and unlikely to develop. What makes us individuals is due in part to our genes. Other than identical twins, no two people have the same genetic makeup; we are unique. How then can science take into account and reconcile information about average risk for disease and, at the same time, factor in our individual makeup to assure the best health outcome for all people? This is the realm of personalized medicine. 

As science and medicine advance, we are seeing more personalized medicine incorporated into health care. We are entering an age where genetic tests can help us learn more about our individual risk for disease and age of onset, and provide better options for detecting, treating more effectively, and even preventing disease. Research has advanced to a point where understanding risk and intervening has been shown to save lives. Expert panels are now developing screening and prevention recommendations that take into account family history of disease and even a person’s genetic test results.

What if you knew that you were very likely to get breast cancer in your lifetime? The average woman’s lifetime risk of breast cancer is about 12.5%, and most of that risk occurs after age 50. What if your risk was more like 60% and the cancer was more likely to occur when you were younger? Would you make different decisions about breast screening? What if you learned your risk for ovarian cancer was as high as 50% and that removing your ovaries after you were done having children could lower that risk drastically and improve your chances of living to old age? If you knew that being active and fit could influence your risk for cancer later in life, would you be more likely to exercise? How might you use knowledge about your risk for cancer to improve how you live today?  

Risk is complicated, and it isn’t yet an exact science. Although genetic tests are available to help determine your risk for disease, there is more to disease prediction and prevention than just a single test. Genetics experts are the specialists who understand and know the latest about genetic tests and research and how to apply the complex information to personalize your care.

Fortunately, you don’t have to navigate this risk alone. Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered (FORCE), the national nonprofit organization devoted to people facing hereditary cancer risk, has information, tools, and resources to help people understand their risk for cancer and make the best health care decisions. The new book that I co-authored with Rebecca Sutphen, M.D., and Kathy Steligo, Confronting Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer: Identify Your Risk, Understand Your Options, Change Your Destiny, provides this information in a concise, understandable, and easily accessible format. With the right guidance, knowing your risk for cancer and the options available to manage that risk can be lifesaving information. For those with cancer, learning if the cancer was hereditary can affect treatment choices and your chances of never being diagnosed again.

Sue Friedman, DVM, is the founder and executive director of Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered (FORCE). Her numerous articles on hereditary cancer have appeared in Oncology Times, CURE, Gene Watch, and the Boston Globe, among others. Together with Rebecca Sutphen, M.D. and Kathy Steligo, she wrote Confronting Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer: Identify Your Risk, Understand Your Options, Change Your Destiny, which will be available January 20 from the JHU Press.
