I hold a Canada Research Chair, which is a federally funded research position designed to further research in Canada that is significant for Canadian life and economy.  (Link to the home page of the CRC program. )  In applying for such a position one submits a research proposal which then guides one's work in the following years.  Here is a link to my proposal which is concerned with intelligent reactions to the fact that one's thinking powers are very limited.  Also a link to a poster describing the project, which was used at a U of Alberta gathering. 

Documents put out by the university of Alberta administration have a semi-literate quality that at first amused me. Now I find it insulting. Here's a random selection. Send me your favourites.

An engaging video on stories about our talented people serving through knowledge will be shown and Q&A session will follow.

As a key stake holder associated with the office of the dean of arts, I strongly encourage you to attend.

And who is the key stake holder, the I or the you?)

One of key functions provided by senior faculty is mentoring of junior faculty and graduate students. The concept originates with Homer who entrusted his son to be raised by King Odysseus - a person who was knowledgeable and wise.

In the Faculty of Arts instructors complied with this policy by submitting course examinations directly to the Students Union to be made available as a study tool for students in a subsequent year or through the department chair, applied to the Faculty of Arts for exemption to the policy, supplying when possible representative questions rather than full examinations.

On May 15, the Provost and the Dean responded to suggestions voiced during the Dean's review that the Faculty engage in a visioning process to reflect on the changing landscapes of our Arts disciplines and our Faculty's responsiveness to the emerging contexts of the humanities, social sciences and fine arts in the twenty-first century.
