The Journal (Queen’s University): Professors pressed for time
‘There aren’t a lot of spare resources around these days’
Rosemary Jolly wants to have an African studies department at Queen’s but simply doesn’t have time to work in a new program.
Jolly is an English professor who specializes in Southern African literature and cultures.
“The resource constraint is not just money—the resource constraint is people like me who would love to teach in an African studies department,” she said. Jolly—who’s only teaching one class for the next four years because of her participation in research projects—is one of a number of professors who specialize in Africa that are already involved in too many different areas.
