Christopher Fox is Professor of English at the University of Notre Dame and Director of the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies, which he co-founded with Seamus Deane. Fox received his Ph.D. from SUNY-Binghamton where he won the Distinguished Dissertation in the Humanities and Fine Arts Prize. At Notre Dame, he has also been a Fellow of the Reilly Center for Science, Technology and Values. Fox’s interests in Irish Studies grew out of his interests in Jonathan Swift and eighteenth-century Ireland. In 1991, he organized an international conference on Jonathan Swift and Irish Studies and later established The IRISH Seminar, which convenes every summer at O’Connell House in Dublin. In 1988, he founded the Notre Dame Eighteenth-Century Seminar, which still meets. Fox has served on the national board of the American Society For Eighteenth-Century Studies and the editorial boards of various journals, including Eighteenth-Century Studies and Bullan: A Journal of Irish Studies. Fox has served as President of the Midwest American Society For Eighteenth-Century Studies, President of the Samuel Johnson Society, and President of the ASECS national Irish Caucus. At Notre Dame, Fox has served as Chair of the Department of English, Chair of the Department of Irish Language and Literature, Director of the Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts, Associate Dean for Faculty and Research, and Acting Dean of the College of Arts and Letters. He has held fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Council of Learned Societies, the Newberry Library, and the Folger. Fox also received an institutional Challenge Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities which established a 2.25 million dollar fund for a library acquisitions program in Medieval Irish and English literatures and permanent faculty fellowships in the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies and Notre Dame’s Medieval Institute. Fox has also served as Director of several National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminars for College and University teachers, including “Anglo-Irish Identities, 1600-1800” scheduled in the Keough-Naughton Institute on Notre Dame’s campus June 4-July 6, 2007. Fox is the author of Locke and the Scriblerians: Identity and Consciousness in Eighteenth-Century Britain, published by the University of California Press; and co-editor, with the late Roy Porter and Robert Wokler, of Inventing Human Science: Eighteenth-Century Domains, also published by California. Fox has edited Psychology and Literature in the Eighteenth Century (1987), Teaching Eighteenth-Century Poetry (1990), Gulliver’s Travels: Text and Case Studies in Contemporary Criticism (1995), and more recently, The Cambridge Companion to Jonathan Swift (2003).
