:''For the Canadian football offensive lineman, see Michael Warner (gridiron football)'' Michael Warner is a literary critic, social theorist, and Seymour H. Knox Professor of English Literature and American Studies at Yale University. He also writes for Art Forum, The Nation, The Advocate, and The Village Voice. He is the author of ''Publics and Counterpublics'', ''The Trouble With Normal: Sex, Politics, and the Ethics of Queer Life'', ''The English Literatures of America, 1500-1800'', ''Fear of a Queer Planet'', and ''The Letters of the Republic''. He also edited ''The Portable Walt Whitman'' and ''American Sermons: The Pilgrims to Martin Luther King, Jr.'' Warner achieved two M.As, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and The Johns Hopkins University, in 1981 and 1983 respectively. He received his Ph.D. in English from Johns Hopkins University in 1986. Warner assumed his position at Yale University in 2007, and became Seymour H. Knox Professor of English Literature and American studies in 2008. Prior to his work at Yale, he taught at Northwestern University (1985-1990) and Rutgers University (1990-2007). Warner is highly influential in the fields of Early American literature, social theory, and queer theory. His first book, ''The Letters of the Republic: Publication and the Public Sphere in Eighteenth-Century America'', established him as a leading scholar in Early American literature, print culture, and public sphere theory. He later became a public figure in the gay community for his book ''The Trouble with Normal'', in which Warner contended that queer theory and the ethics of a queer life serve as critiques of existing social and economic structures, not just as critique of heterosexuality and heterosexual society. His most recent work, ''Publics and Counterpublics'' is a collection of essays on the politics of communication in advanced capitalistic societies, or Habermasian public sphere theory. Warner is currently working on the history of secularism in early America, from the early eighteenth century to the Civil War, culminating with the work of Walt Whitman, a writer on whom many of his interests converge. Warner has been a permanent fellow of Rutger University’s Center for Critical Analysis of Contemporary Culture since 2001, and was a director from 2006-2008.〔 He also sits on a number of Advisory Boards, including that of the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies (since 1999), the Society for the Humanities at Cornell University (since 2003), and the Library of America Colonial Writing Project (since 2005).〔 Warner is, along with Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Teresa de Lauretis,〔De Lauretis coined the term "queer theory" although the way in which it is used today differs from what she originally suggested by the term.
