What鈥檚 your favourite thing about working at Dal?

Near the top of the list would be attending convocation. I usually stand in the back of the auditorium and peruse the list of graduates looking for familiar names. In my work, I don鈥檛 always meet folks on their best day, but as my 鈥渇riends鈥� stroll excitedly across the stage, I feel deeply proud to now have a better moment to experience with them. I clap and cheer at the opportunity Dal has given me 鈥� a security guard 鈥� to share in the academic mission of the university. Not all lessons are learned in the classroom or lab. Many times, I鈥檝e had the privilege to sit with students as they hear from others about the impact of their negative behaviour while making commitments to do better. These can be hard conversations, but I believe the learning outcomes last a lifetime.

What鈥檚 the most surprising thing we might see on your resume/cv?

Folks might be surprised to learn that I co-host a podcast called 鈥淭he Disorienting Dilemma鈥� that focuses on a range of topics through an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) lens.聽 From corporate social responsibility to the neuroscience of restorative justice (and lots of things in between) episodes are designed to provoke thought and conversation. There鈥檚 very little pretense to it 鈥搈ore an everyday perspective not an expert one.

What鈥檚 the strangest job experience you鈥檝e ever had?

If by strange we mean 鈥渦nusual鈥� then I think it goes back 20 plus years to when I co-founded a non-profit called Ark Outreach. Our mission was overly simplistic at the time. It was not to 鈥渇ix鈥� homelessness or hunger. Instead find ways to just be the place of refuge during the storm. It wasn鈥檛 about the number of meals served or beds filled. This was relational work hinged on making genuine connections. Those community members ended up giving back to me (through trust, friendship, and understanding) far more than I could ever bring.聽 Going into the work with a desire to 鈥渉elp鈥� and ending up receiving exceedingly more than I contributed was in one word鈥� strange.
