Professor Fish is a well-known public intellectual, regular blogger on the New York Times website ("Think Again" at http://fish.blogs.nytimes.com/), and distinguished academic who is teaching "Topics in Interpretation" at the USD School of Law this fall. His thought-provoking new book, Save the World on Your Own Time, questions the efforts of some faculty members in higher education to influence the political views of their students.

He holds a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania (1959) and an MA and PhD from Yale University (1960; 1962). He has previously taught at the University of California at Berkeley (1962-74); Johns Hopkins University (1974-85), where he was the Kenan Professor of English and Humanities; and Duke University, where he was Arts and Sciences Professor of English and Professor of Law (1986-1998). From 1993 through 1998 he served as Executive Director of Duke University Press. Dr. Fish served as a Distinguished Visiting Professor at The John Marshall Law School from 2000 through 2002.
