Academic Career
At UAlbany since 1975 and an editor of the Emerson Papers at Harvard's Houghton Library since 1977, Bosco has lectured and published extensively on Puritan homiletics and poetics, nineteenth-century American intellectual and literary history, and the theory and practice of documentary and textual editing.
His recent awards include a Doctorate (Honoris Causa) from Soka University of Japan; the Thoreau Society Medal; the Lyman H. Butterfield Award of the Association for Documentary Editing; and the Ralph Waldo Emerson Society Distinguished Achievement Award.
In 2003, on the occasion of Emerson's 200th birthday, he delivered the commemorative lecture, "What Poems are Many Private Lives," at the Emerson House in Concord, Massachusetts, for the Emerson family and the Town of Concord.
In April 2007, Bosco was invited to participate in the forum "Re-conceiving Self and Society: The American Renaissance in Retrospect" at Soka University of America. Other participants included Sarah Wider (Colgate University), Kenneth M. Price (University of Nebraska, Lincoln), and Jim Merod (Soka University of America).

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or career:
“The poker player learns that sometimes both science and common sense are wrong; that the bumblebee can fly; that, perhaps, one should never trust an expert; that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of by those with an academic bent.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
