Candidate statement
Lisa Gitelman. Professor of English and Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University.
I first became associated with SHARP in 1996. I was invited to give one of the keynotes for our 2017 conference, and I have recently begun serving as one of the advisory editors of Book History. My field is broadly media history, and I have found SHARP to be both a welcoming and generative intellectual community. I applaud the organization’s commitment to inclusion on an international scale, and I hope I can be part of its ongoing commitment to exploring a “history of the book” that is broadly conceived.
