| For three years, ending in July 2008, I served as the philosophy
department's Chair of Undergraduate Studies. If you have questions
about the undergraduate philosophy programme - registration or your
enrollment status or the curriculum or whatever - feel free to contact
me. You may also contact
Judy Vanhooser, the department's
secretary in charge of undergraduate affairs. |
| Prior to becoming Chair of Undergraduate Studies, I was the department's
official computer guy. Most of the work was routine: people came to
me with their computer problems and I tried to fix them; or, I arranged
for new email/web accounts, when necessary. In the spring and summer
of 2004, however, I undertook the important but tedious task of planning,
constructing and implementing a completely new website for my department.
Mark Fedyk, a Queen's undergraduate who is now studying philosophy
at Cornell, provided crucial assistance; in fact, the job would have
neither begun nor ended without him. Having gone through the process
myself, I now have a new appreciation for coders and designers. |
| Somehow, I have found myself in the position of organizing or co-organizing
seven conferences or workshops to this point in my career. Though
not particularly enjoyable work, the topics seemed worth it and in
each case, I had lots of help. At the moment, I don't have plans to
put together another such event but who knows what the future may
bring? |
