In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. Between 2005 and 2007 I completed an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. I worked for five years for the Canadian federal government, including completing the Accelerated Economist Training Program, and then completed a PhD in Political Science at the University of Toronto in 2023.

    I think changing your marking location is really important. I have a 162 students assignments and essays to mark as well, but I try and mark them in manageable chunks. 40 in a coffee shop, 35 in a library, 30 at home, that kind of thing.

  3. For this course we were required to use a very awkward all electronic grading system, which didn’t work well with my laptop.

    I enormously prefer to grade paper copies and, when doing so, I move about a fair bit.

  4. Interesting use of time lapse photography. Over how many days did you do this photography?
