NEWS BRIEF
University combines
publishing departments
The University is merging its patch
work of publishing departments into
a single division, Creative Publishing.
Departments combined into Cre
ative Publishing include University
Publications, which provided design
and editorial services for more than 600
University projects annually; "Oregon
Quarterly," a magazine for alumni and
donors with a circulation of 85,000;
and UO Press, whose projects included
late Professor Emeritus William Loy's
award-winning "Adas of Oregon" and
two books currently in development.
Longtime "Oregon Quarterly" Edi
tor Guy Maynard has been named di
rector of Creative Publishing. Jeanne
Maasch, assistant director and art di
rector for University Publications, has
been tapped as art director and asso
ciate director of the department.

Paris agreed.
"We really want people to do good
work," Paris said.
"It's not just a bunch of jocks trying to
top one another," Aoki said. "At the U of
O, a thousand flowers can bloom."
Because each professor has his or
her own area of expertise and schol
arship, the need for competition is
minimal, he said.
This supportive and cooperative at
mosphere allows faculty members to
share ideas and information with one
another, helping them to produce criti
cally acclaimed scholarship, Aoki said.
Many University law professors
have written casebooks, which typi
cally draw a great deal of national at
tention, Aoki said.
Law school professor Leslie Harris
has coauthored three casebooks
about family law and children and
the law, two of which "are probably
the most widely used in their field,"
Paris said.
Law school professor Steven Ben
der recently published a book exam
ining Latino stereotypes in popular
culture, "Greasers and Gringos," with
the New York University Press that
has been receiving national attention
for its focus on the Latino popula
tion's possible position as the swing
vote in the November presidential
elections, Aoki said.
Law school professor Caroline A.
Forell's book "A Law of Her Own" has
received national attention for its look
at the male-dominated process of jury
selection and instructions.
Law school professor Robert Tsai,
who is beginning just his third year of
teaching, presented a paper at the fifth
VZZZZZZ777 *7 T* y/////////77/
annual Stanford-Yale Junior Faculty Fo
rum at Yale Law School this year. "He
was selected out of all the [Constitu
tional] Law professors in the country.
The only other person who was there
was [Assistant Professor] Heather
Gerken from Harvard Law School, so
he had very good company," Aoki said.
Aoki himself has received national
attention for his work in the areas of
intellectual property and critical theo
ry. A recent survey of U.S. law schools
ranked him as number 17 in the top
100 most cited young law professors *
from 1992-2002.
The administration is very support
ive of faculty scholarship, which Aoki
said has allowed his colleagues and
him to take on fresh ideas and creative
ways of presenting them.
"I do traditional scholarship, but the
powers that be let me have these slides
of fancy, like doing a law review article
as a comic strip," Aoki said, referring to
a comic strip he drew for the University
of Miami Law Review last year.
An accomplished cartoonist, Aoki
recently collaborated with University
law professor Garrett Epps on politi
cal cartoons that appeared in The Na
tion and the American Prospect.
"Garrett Epps is one of the really out
standing stars on our faculty," Aoki
said. Epps, a former Washington Post
staff writer, regularly writes opinion arti
cles for the Post and many other news
papers. His current work, a book exam
ining the 14th Amendment's impact
on the nation, is expected to receive
worldwide attention, Aoki said.
"This is going to be probably the
most important book on the 14th
Amendment that's going to come out
in the next 10 years," Aoki said.
