He has served as Chair of the Department, and as Co-Director of the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy.

Welton is the editor of \u003ci\u003eBody and Flesh: A Philosophical Reader\u003c\/i\u003e (Blackwell, 1998); \u003ci\u003ePostmodernism and Continental Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e (co-edited with Hugh Silverman, 1988); and \u003ci\u003eCritical Dialectical Phenomenology\u003c\/i\u003e (co-edited with Hugh Silverman, 1987).

Continental thinkers, beginning with the phenomenologists, began to rethink this important concept and to develop alternatives to traditional analytic reductionist attempts to characterize the body in mere physical or biological terms.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume begins with selections from phenomenological writings of Edmund Husserl, Martin Hidegger, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. These selections are accompanied by essays from Donn Welton, Elmar Holenstein, David Levin, Anthony J. Steinbock and Drew Leder (Part I). The phenomenological accounts have been supplemented, perhaps replaced, by the psychotropic and genealogical analyses of Jacques Lacan and Michael Foucault (Part II), and by the semiological analysis of the gendered body offered by Julia Kristeva and Luce Irigaray (Part III).
