Chodorow has widely published on scholarly communication and political history, especially as related to the Middle Ages. These interests merged in his later work with his role as a university administrator, where he critically examined the issues around the role of libraries and academic information.

Recreational Activities and Brief Accounts

Chodorow is an avid athlete known to scale volcanoes and trek through jungles on his bicycle. He has narrowly escaped a tree full of ravenous baboons due to his proficiency in the art of bicycling. His love for history of the middle ages and traveling the world is only surpassed by his undying admiration of his only true love Peggy Chodorow. Professor Chodorow recommends daily exercise especially after high caloric holiday meals. This is the key to a healthy lifestyle!
