Joanne W. Lafler <jwlafler@ix.netcom.com> National Coalition of Independent Scholars As an editor-- now editor-in-chief-- of H-Scholar, my chief concern is with issues relating to independent scholars, including library access, access to proprietary databases, eligibility for grants and fellowships, management of reseach time, and establishment of collegial relationships. My own research has been in British theatre, 1660-1776, eighteenth-century British women, and, more recently biography and autobiography |
