By Ian Storey KEVIN WHETTER '88 (English/Classical Studies) has accepted a tenure-stream position in the Department of English at Acadia University, beginning on 1 July 2001. He and his wife, Ann, will be moving over the summer from the U.K., and hope to relocate near Halifax. He is maintaining his interest in Mediaeval English and Romance. ARLENE ALLAN '92 (Classical Studies) is in the final year of her Leverhulme Fellowship at Exeter University, where she has been working on her doctorate on various cultural and social aspects of the god Hermes. In September she will take up a sessional position in the Classics department at Northwestern University in Chicago. BRAD LEVETT '90 (Greek) is nearing the end of his doctoral work at the University of Washington (Seattle), and will be the Crake Fellow for 2001/2 at Mount Allison University. This is the most prestigious award in Canada for graduate students in Classics, and there seems to have developed a link with Trent as Kelly MacFarlane (see below) held the award in 1999/2000 and three of our sessional appointments in the 1990s were also Crake Fellows. KELLY MACFARLANE '87 (Classical Studies) visited Trent for the first time since her graduation and gave a fascinating lecture on Lucian's fantasy 'True' History to Classical Literature 300. She will be taking up a sessional position in the Classics Department at Southern Illinois University (Carbondale) in the autumn of 2001. JASON CLARK '93 (Classical History) graduated from Trent this spring and will be enrolled in the Faculty of Education at Nipissing University. KEVIN JOHNSON '98 (Classical Studies) also graduated from Trent this spring and will be going even farther afield to study Education, to the University of Strathclyde in the U.K.  |
