Liz Gavis: on the future as Chair I am currently on a listening tour, meeting one-on-one with every faculty member in the Department to hear what people are thinking and if they have ideas for where they think the department should be going and where they do or don’t want us to change. I'm gathering ideas from my colleagues because we are a very collegial and democratic Department and we make decisions as a group, in general.
