Dr. Robert Con Davis-Undiano is Dean of the Honors College at the University of Oklahoma and 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 and has taught courses in magazine editing and publishing (for OU’s Honors College), comparative literature, modern languages, and English composition. A Nebraska native, Daniel is in obedience training to be a husband, father, and dog owner: learning, from his wife, the true meaning of commitment; from their three young daughters, the true measure of love; and from their three dogs, the true gift of devotion.

Michelle Johnson provides part-time editorial assistance to WLT while also teaching legal writing and oral advocacy to first year law students. Like most editors, Michelle has a novel she wrote tucked away in a drawer (yes, it's beginning to occur to her it may have a better chance of getting blown away by a tornado than getting published, but it doesn't take up that much room). She collects books, and her husband Mark supports her compulsive bibliophilic shopping habits and needs for extended stays in bookstores worldwide. Michelle fantasizes about living in Manhattan, Maine, Banff, and Ireland and plans creative ways to live in all of these places. Being the well-grounded, practical person she is, Michelle is already making plans for the day Mary Oliver will just happen to be in Norman, Oklahoma, will have dinner in the Johnson home, and of course find the Johnson's huge, furry dog Wrigley the most amiable of canines.
