Richard
Hull Richard Hull was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to a former newspaper reporter and an executive assistant to the local Chamber of Commerce. His undergraduate degree in philosophy is from Austin College, Sherman, Texas, and his PhD in philosophy from Indiana University. After spending thirty years in the SUNY at Buffalo Department of Philosophy, he took early retirement in 1997 to take the position of Executive Director of the Texas Council for the Humanities in Austin, Texas. He spent portions of the next year as an independent book producer. In the years 2000-2004, he worked as a fundraiser for nonprofit organizations and spent a semester as a Visiting Distinguished Professor at the University of Montana’s Institute of Medicine and Humanities. A second edition of his reader-text Ethical Issues in the New Reproductive Technologies was published by Prometheus Books in 2007. His current research centers chiefly on the biographies and publications of the presidents of the American Philosophical Association from its inception in 1900 to the present day. To date, he has published six volumes, with a seventh volume in press and three more in initial proofreading stages, all now bought out by Prometheus. In addition, he edits three special series of the Value Inquiry Book Series: Werkmeister Studies, Lived Values and Valued Lives, and Histories and Addresses of Philosophical Societies, all for Editions Rodopi. He publishes several book chapters, articles, and reviews each year. Richard moved to Tallahassee, Florida, in 2004 where his wife is Professor in Florida State University’s department of psychology and its interdisciplinary neuroscience group. He was appointed Executive Director of Text and Academic Authors Association in July of 2005. |
