Writing elsewhere
Posted on | May 4, 2009 | 6 Comments
Today I added another page to this blog with a running list of publications. Until recently I’d been able to keep this fairly current on my work page, but I don’t have access to my own profile page in my new job (!). In fact, the whole faculty is relaunching its website at the moment, yawn, so it’s not likely that’s going to change any time soon.
Apparently I’m going to need to have this list ready for ERA preparations anyway so this is one way to try to keep control over this stuff in my own time if possible. My only encounter with the administrator in charge of our ERA submission so far was an awkward confrontation where he walked in to my office uninvited and demanded that I prepare a document for his perusal and expert opinion in identifying my “top 20%”. When I asked what that even meant, he couldn’t tell me.
I don’t think I’ve put my current book outline/proposal online before, so feedback on that would be welcome right now: I need motivation! And if there’s something missing that you’d like a copy of, please get in touch.

ERA is just so much fun, isn’t it? I managed to find myself on my school’s committee at Curtin figuring out how to count, among other things, creative output (which I don’t have myself). Of course, given I joined Curtin this year, and the ERA cutoff for the Humanities trial is 31 March 2008, my research doesn’t even get included. The joys of the red tape …

Tama at my institution they are asking us to prepare a list of all eligible pubs between 2002-2008 regardless of when you started to work at the institution.

That’s what I was asked for as well, Laura. And the way it was conveyed to me by the aggro dude was so gross, like somehow Sydney OWNS my life up until now.
I appreciate they have a job to do, but if they asked nicely it would help…

There’s no excuse for rudeness with this – it’s all so competitive and agressive.And no assistance for grad students as yo how you shoudl report your pubications. I’ve tried and been defeated twice and have given up. They dont’ make it easy.
As for access to your profile page, the web system @ Sydney is horrendous, to me – so monolithic and corporate. You can’t edit anything on the uni’s webpages (including faculty pages) unless you’ve Been to Training. Even experienced web developers have to be Trained before they can edit or create pages.

The phrase “All your research is belongs to us” comes to mind…
-Apparently- the SOPHI office can assist with profile page updates. Send an email. AFAIK the Arts page update shouldn’t prevent this from happening.
