The Editor: Renate von Bardeleben has held the chair for American Studies at the School of Applied Linguistics and Cultural Studies of the University of Mainz in Germersheim since 1980. She received her Ph.D. in American Literature from the University of Mainz. Upon the completion of her habilitation at the same institution, she taught at the Free University of Berlin and the University of Bamberg. Her research has centered on autobiography, minority writing, social and regional dialects, and bilingualism. In 1984, she hosted the First International Conference on Chicano Culture in cooperation with Juan Bruce-Novoa and Dietrich Briesemeister, thus initiating this now traditional forum of intercultural exchange in the field of Hispanic Studies.
