Dr. Robert Con Davis-Undiano is Executive Director for World Literature Today. RC (as he is called) joined OU’s faculty in 1980, and in 1999 he was named Executive Director of OU’s international magazine World Literature Today and holder of the Neustadt Professorship in Comparative Literature.  In 1999, he received a Presidential Professorship, and in 2004 he became the third recipient of the prestigious Sullivant Award for Perceptivity.  In 2005, he became Dean of OU’s Honors College.  He and his wife Julie have three children.

Daniel joined the WLT staff in 2002, after previous editorial positions at the University of Oklahoma Press and University of Nebraska Press. He received his doctorate in comparative literature—with an emphasis in translation studies—from Indiana University, Bloomington, in 2000. At OU, in addition to his work at WLT, he serves as an adjunct assistant professor in the English department, teaching a course in magazine editing and publishing every fall, and on the affiliate faculty of the College of International Studies. He is a member of the Council of Editors of Learned Journals (CELJ) and PEN American Center, the U.S. branch of the world’s oldest international literary and human rights organization. A Nebraska native, Daniel lives in Norman with his wife and three daughters.

Poetry, novels, short stories, essays, legal briefs and opinions, travel writing, food writing, memoir—Michelle enjoys them all. She collects books but considers even a brief interruption of Internet access a crisis. Also a lawyer, Michelle teaches persuasive legal writing to law students and coaches moot court teams. She occasionally teaches the Neustadt international literature course and a law and literature course. Michelle enjoys movies, cooking, visiting with family and friends, and discovering new cities on foot with her husband, Mark.

Marla has been a member of the World Literature Today staff for almost eighteen years. She has roots in Nebraska and Iowa, and spent her college years at Oregon State University and the University of Oklahoma. She navigates through the constant stream of book reviews at WLT, along with creating an occasional piece of artwork for the magazine. It has been rumored that a cat lives in her house, or perhaps a dog, possibly a goldfish, or at the very least, something with fuzz on it is growing in the refrigerator. One of her favorite books is Independent People by Halldór Laxness.
