Extract

Whenever i have occasion to pause in the course of my chock-full schedule as a professor of english and comparative literature to consider the nature of the work I do beyond research and classroom teaching, journal refereeing is not at the top of my list of things that fill my day or fulfill me. Beyond research and teaching, my efforts in assisting students, friends, and colleagues as they attend to their own research and teaching usually take priority over journal refereeing. I suspect this is true for many of us—except, of course, for journal editors. In the academy, when we scholar-teachers are not doing scholarship and teaching, we are likely shaping the conditions that allow others to do research, teach, and learn.
