The Future of WPA Professionalization: A 2007 Survey

My entry into administrative work, as has been the case with many writing program and writing center administrators, was the result of serendipity [1]. I had just graduated with my Master’s degree in literature, and I had no immediate plans for what to do. I had spent several years working as a writing tutor and teacher while in my graduate program, and, like many, I found the work meaningful and significant. The stars aligned, it seemed, as the writing center director at my institution retired the very semester I graduated with my master’s degree, and the department needed someone to step in while they could convince the upper administration they needed to hire a tenure-track faculty member to fill the position long-term.University Writing Cente

Working with Legacy Media: A Lone Arranger\u27s First Steps

[Excerpt] In 2013, a naked hard drive from Fiji arriving in my small religious archives (an equivalent full-time staff of 2.5 – one archivist and two archives’ assistants) started me off on the path of digital preservation and, in particular, the digital forensics practices that are beneficial for archivists. With such a small staff, outsourced IT services, and no digital preservation policy in sight, it was time to start exploring how institutions of my size could manage legacy media and start planning for the born-digital archives that will continue to arrive. Since I hold a part-time position, I was able to undertake this exploration in my own time through the support provided by a scholarship from the Ian McLean Wards Memorial Trust in 2015

LEP, SLC and the Standard Model

The period 1989-2000 provided a huge yield of precise electroweak data from the LEP and SLC experiments. Many analyses of these data are now complete, but others, particularly of the full LEP-2 data samples, continue. The main electroweak physics results from these data are summarised, and stringent tests of the Standard Model are made with the combined samples. The direct search for the missing link of the Standard Model, the Higgs boson, is also briefly reviewed.Comment: Invited talk at the XXXth SLAC Summer Institute Topical Conference, Stanford, California, USA, August 2002 (SSI02-TW05) 24 pages, LaTeX, 25 eps figure
