DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS AND PHILOSOPHY
Psycho-Social Support One staff member was granted a reduced workload for 2022–23 while two members were granted leave of absence for Semester 2 – for medical reasons. Their duties were reassigned to existing staff and/or covered by new staff who graciously offered support beyond teaching. Besides department meetings held to keep staff abreast of developments and the objectives for the year/semester, each academic section had meetings before or early in each semester to establish guidelines for teaching and offer suggestions for professional development. The English Language Section, in particular, held successful professional development plenary sessions for staff at the beginning of each semester (August 18, 2022 and January 11, 2023). PUBLICATIONS Members of the academic staff continued to find spaces to research, write and publish materials while carrying heavy teaching loads or during leave periods that the Department encourages.
