The rumors have already started to float, so I might as well confirm: I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve accepted a full-time, tenure-track post as Assistant Professor of Digital Studio Practice in the Visual Arts Department<\/a>, Peck School of the Arts<\/a>, at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee<\/a> (UWM). My contract starts this August.<\/p>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a great department \/ school \/ university and, honestly, I think a perfect fit. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be teaching graduate and undergraduate artists ways to think about and make work that uses new media (and helping to design this new stream within the department), am also part of their interdisciplinary and cross-department DIVAS<\/a> (Digital Imaging Visualization Animation & Sound) program in Inter-arts<\/a>, and will be part of their Global Studies<\/a> faculty, lecturing one course per year on issues surrounding art and discourse that affect and are affected by globalization. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been chatting to my chair about other upcoming possible projects, emailing some grad students about work and readings, and doing research on Milwaukee and its surrounds; despite the cold (yikes!), it all looks and sounds just great.<\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m admittedly a little sad to leave Dublin just as I was getting settled, and I miss South Africa more than I can say (and part of me dreamed we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d wind up back in New York at some point!). But more and more, this new life is looking exciting and rewarding and like a great fit for my family, and I hope to carry on and strengthen my ties to my other homes now that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be more centered and connected (and, hopefully, not working on my PhD dissertation for too much longer).<\/p>\n

Congratulations are in order! And if you are ever in the ‘hood, please drop a line \u00e2\u20ac\u201c after our trip back to SA for a few weeks, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be in Milwaukee from mid-August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
