List, I would like to recommend Michael Shapiro's work and especially, given the central thrust of this forum, those taking up aspects of Peircean linguistics and semeiotic.
Having read a number of Michael Shapiro's papers, essays, articles and three of his books, and having heard him speak on a number of occasions at conferences and seminars, I can say from first hand knowledge that his scholarship is extraordinary both in its breadth and depth. And even just skimming down the list he posted today of the works he's written, co-written, or edited, it's obvious that Peirce has deeply informed a good portion of his writing. Among those works, Michael (who, by the way, is a past president of The Charles S. Peirce Society), has published in *Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society* and other journals such as *Ars Semeiotica,* edited five volumes of *The Peirce Seminar Papers* to which he also contributed, and has been an invited speaker at numerous conferences including those centering on Peirce's work, for example, the International Peirce Centennial Conference at UMass a few years ago. He has also written and/or spoken on diverse other topics, for example, Russian language and linguistics, poetry, literary criticism, etc. All of this is to suggest that Michael is a distinguished scholar and academician who has been on the faculty of such prestigious institutions as Brown University, Columbia University, and has taught at Princeton, UCLA, UC Berkeley, and elsewhere. I'll conclude by noting that Michael maintains a lively blog,* Language Lore*, https://languagelore.net which occasionally takes up Peircean and semeiotic topics, but more frequently briefly considers fascinating points of current language practice. Finally, on a personal note, Michael is the founder and president of a small NYC based philosophy club (somewhat tongue in cheek, we call it the New Metaphysical Club after the Harvard club of which both William James and Peirce were members) which meets monthly and of which Ben Udell, co-manager of Peirce-L, and I are members. Not infrequently -- and for good reasons -- we have taken as our discussion topic one of Michael's Peirce-related papers.
