[Social-sciences-list] Marching

[Gabias, Paul]

Congratulations again Christine!  

 

What is the teaching load, and what are the research expectations?  What
are the service requirements?  What kind of reader/TA support were you
able to work out?  What are the requirements for achieving tenure?  Do
you have adequate research space?  What level of grantsmanship is
typically obtained by members in your department?

 

All The Best

 

Paul Gabias

Thanks, this is really helpful! Yes, it is tenure-tracked. I start in
about 2.5 weeks.

Have a wonderful evening, or more accurately morning!

Christine

	Hi Christine,

	 

	First, congratulations on your job.  Is it a tenure track
position?  

	You can hand the leash to the person in front of you.  Then, you
use the dog, as you normally would, and give the follow command.  If
your dog knows that command anyway, the leash in the hand of the person
in front of you just ensures proper distance and line formation.
Practice this with people beforehand, so that when the time comes, the
dog knows exactly what to do.

	With the cane, you simply put your hand on the person's shoulder
in front of you, and walk being them.  So, nothing to it!

	 

	All The Best

	Hi All,

	  I just recently was offered and chose to accept an assistant
professorship position in a small Christian liberal arts university and
was told that I will need to march in a number of ceremonies such as
convocations...

	 

	  Because I chose, for various reasons not to  attend graduation
for my PhD, it has been a really long time since I have had to march in
one of these ceremonies, and the last time I did so, I still had a
little of my vision.

	 

	  My question is therefore, how do those of you without any
vision, and especially those with guide dogs, handle marching? For
example, how do you ensure you keep in line and at the correct pace with
the procession? Do you use sited guide or your dog? Any suggestions,
information, tips, or advice regarding these issues or other issues
relating to marching without vision would be sincerely appreciated!

	With very warm regards,

	Christine

	A soon to be Georgian!
