For the second year in a row, the Part-time Faculty at Concordia held a showcase to highlight the research and achievements of its professors who teach at Concordia. I was pleased to participate with my book No Small Potatoes. It was a great opportunity to meet some of my colleagues as well as the many passersby who stopped to chat and find out more about the part-time profs who bring a unique perspective to their teaching at the university.
“Part-time faculty bring an applied knowledge but also a pedagogical one to thousands of students,” says Peluso, part-time Political Science Lecturer and President of the Concordia University Part-time Faculty Association (CUPFA).
“This unique view can only improve students’ perspective of their education and their future careers. Concordia’s reputation is enhanced by having such faculty in our classrooms.”

During the day, I held a raffle for one of my books, and the lucky winner was Valerie Walker. Turned out that Valerie won the book on her birthday. What a lovely synchronicity!
Valerie is a fibre artist who teaches in the Design & Computation Arts department. She was showcasing some of her tie-dye pieces made using an ancient Japanese method called shibori.

There were over 40 part-time faculty members showcasing their work, and I was honoured to be among such talented people. Looking forward to next year's showcase, and hope to see you there!
