The CHAT Advisory Board works with the directors to shape the future of the Center. Board members also evaluate all of CHAT's fellowship and grant applications.
The spirited discussions at its bi-annual meetings have forged most of CHAT's current slate of programs, making the Advisory Board the heart and soul of the Center.
Peter M. Logan, Director
A specialist in nineteenth-century British literature, Peter Logan is a Professor of English and General Editor of the Blackwell Encyclopedia of the Novel (2011). He specializes in critical theory, the history of the novel, and the histories of medicine and anthropology.
His most recent book, Victorian Fetishism: Intellectuals and Primitives (Albany: State University of New York Press, 2009), explores the origins of the culture concept in Victorian writing. His earlier Nerves and Narratives: A Cultural History of Hysteria in Nineteenth-Century British Prose (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1997) examined early nineteenth-century first-person narrative forms and ideas about nervous disorders.
Dr. Logan received his Ph.D. and B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley. He has published articles in Cultural Critique, Victorian Literature and Culture, Novel: A Forum on Fiction, History of the Human Sciences, and other journals.
