Reference excerpt

Gregory Frank Tague (born 1957) is an American multidisciplinary literary scholar. He spent most of his career at St. Francis College. He is the founder of the scholarly journal ASEBL Journal and the literary journal Literary Veganism, and general editor for the publisher Bibliotekos.

Education and career Tague was born in 1957 at Bay Ridge Hospital, Brooklyn. He attended Catholic schools and then St. Francis Preparatory School. He went on to study at Queens College, CUNY; initially earth and environmental science, but then English and American literature. He transferred to Brooklyn College due to the commute, graduating in 1979. He worked full-time in corporate law while at Brooklyn, and continued to work alongside his studies while he read for a Master of Arts at Hunter College, CUNY (graduating 1990); an MPhil at New York University (graduating 1996); and a PhD at New York University. His dissertation was supervised by Frederick R. Karl; it was called The process of the recovery of self in D. H. Lawrence, and accepted in 1998. During his studies, Tague was an adjunct professor at St. Francis College. He was later hired as a tenure track professor at St. Francis, retiring in 2023 as a full professor in the Department of Literature, Writing and Publishing and the Interdisciplinary Studies program. Throughout his career, Tague's research has concerned moral character, consciousness, and moral behavior. He initially focussed on the English novel, bringing together literary studies and philosophy, but subsequently started to draw upon the biological sciences, including evolutionary biology. In his later career, his work moved towards animal ethics and environmental ethics.

Editorial projects

Literary Veganism Tague is the founder and editor of the literary journal Literary Veganism: An Online Journal, which features prose, poetry, and fiction "by, for, and about vegans".

ASEBL Journal

ASEBL Journal was a peer-reviewed academic journal founded by Tague and published by St. Francis College. It published its first issue in 2007, and ceased regular publication in 2021 with volume 15. However, content is still published on the journal's website on an ad hoc basis. In early editions, the initialism ASEBL signified the "Association for the Study of Ethical Behavior in Literature"; later, this became "Association for the Study of (Ethical Behavior) • (Evolutionary Biology) in Literature". In a "new departure" when regular publication of the journal stopped, ASEBL now stands for "animal studies ethical behavior literacy". ASEBL Journal was indexed by EBSCOhost and the Modern Language Association.

Bibliotekos With Fredericka A. Jacks, Tague is the general editor of the publishing website and micro publisher Bibliotekos. Bibliotekos has published a series of collections edited by Tague, as well as assorted interviews with and profiles of authors, articles on literary topics, and book reviews.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Gregory Tague

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Gregory Tague claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Gregory Tague before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Gregory Tague ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Gregory Tague

In research: Gregory Tague appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Gregory Tague in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Gregory Tague is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1957 births, Academics from Brooklyn, American academics of English literature, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Gregory Tague outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
