Stanley Chodorow is a historian and former academic administrator. He was employed recently as the Vice President of Academic Affairs at Questia Media [1]. Prior to that, Chodorow was at University of California, San Diego from 1968 to 1994, first as a professor of history and later a dean. In 1994, he left UCSD to become Provost at University of Pennsylvania, where he remained until 1997. He received his PhD from Cornell University in history in 1968, where he also studied as an undergraduate [2].


Professional interests

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!
