In her new role as\u00a0Associate Dean, Undergraduate Student Affairs and Curriculum in the Faculty of Humanities,\u00a0Professor Neta Gordon looks forward to supporting students and programs.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first-year space is often a difficult one to negotiate, especially for students who are new to the ever-changing university,\u201d says Gordon, who starts the new role on Sunday, July 1. \u201cA lot of my interest in the undergraduate experience emerges from thinking about how to make that space lively and productive.\u201d<\/p>\n
A Professor in the Department of English Language and Literature, Gordon has taught first-year students almost every year since arriving at Brock in 2002. Her teaching has been recognized with the Brock University Faculty of Humanities Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2011.<\/p>\n
Gordon\u2019s experience as a Chair of the Department of English Language and Literature taught her the importance of setting up conditions so that faculty can do their best, she says, and she looks forward to encouraging connections between disciplines.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think students gain so much from serendipitous interdisciplinarity,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019d also like to encourage more knowledge sharing among my colleagues about our teaching experiences and our pedagogy.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to serving two terms as department chair, Gordon has served on the Academic Review Committee, the BUFA Negotiating Committee and Grievance Panel, and the Undergraduate Student Affairs Committee of Senate.<\/p>\n
\u201cDr. Gordon has extensive administration experience at Brock which will stand her in good stead as Associate Dean,\u201d says Dean Carol Merriam. \u201cI am very pleased that Dr. Gordon will now turn her impressive talents to the work of the Faculty of Humanities in this new role.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
