new position

Though I was waiting for the AUC Provost to announce this, it has apparently leaked through Senate channels (and there’s no big problem with that, since they were not told to keep it quiet).

My new position in the fall will be:

Associate Vice Provost for Research

I’ll still be teaching, just not quite as much. The goal of this position (I’ll be the first holder of the office in AUC history) is to help turn our very good university into a great one. To that end, I’ll be doing a very thorough year-long study of all the things we do well and less well on campus. And I have plenty of ideas about that already.

You may also see me in a suit elsewhere than the speculative realism workshops, too.
