Good news here. I’ve been awarded an Endowed Faculty Chair for the Fall of 2008. What this means is that I’ll get six credits of release time and the resultant financial support from the college. Instead of teaching and/or administrating during that time, I will be working on Hulk Hercules: Professional Wrestler and a curriculum guide about classical Greek gods to go with it.
This means that next fall, I get to flirt with the idea of what it’d be like to write full time. Allison, my dean, and I have to hammer out all the particulars, but essentially I’ll be teaching and preparing for two less classes, and my coordinator duties will be somewhat reduced as I will be away from campus.
Sometimes the doctorate has bennies. Nice bennies.
