Dear Colleagues

A very Happy New Year (still in January…) to all! I hope everyone has had a good break and a chance to recharge. Many thanks to Paul (and Julia) for continuing as Chair into the new year.

I’m now writing in that role with an important request about workload data and a piece of excellent news. The latter is that ‘our’ Daniel Hanigan has just been awarded a Junior Research Fellowship at Trinity College, Cambridge, which he will take up in October of this year. This is really an incredible achievement and testament to Daniel’s great talents.

As for workload data: Paul did a first pass at this with the SOH staff, many of whom are effectively beginners at the business. At any rate, I now have access to the online site and have attached a pdf of our entries as they presently stand in it. I can see at once that there are various things that need correcting, but I would ask everyone to look very closely at your own entry and let me know of any errors or omissions. Feel free to come by to tell me in person or give me a call – either might be better than by email, as it would be good to ensure that we are both on the same page. This stuff is messy.

I’d like to take addenda and corrigenda to the School by early next week, so if you could manage this by the end of this one, that would be great.

Could I add a special note to ensure that any unit you teach has the correct types and number of teaching occasions (lectures, seminars etc.)? There was a series of major errors in the data on this front last year, especially in Beginners’ and Intermediate language units.

Thanks and best,

Peter
