It is with mixed emotions that we announce the retirement of Sharon Currie, Administrative Assistant for the Departments of History and Economics, after 35 years of dedicated service to our campus community. Throughout her tenure, Sharon has been a constant source of support, organization, and kindness to faculty, staff, and students alike.

Her hard work, professionalism, and unwavering commitment have made a lasting impact on all who have had the pleasure of working with her. While she will be greatly missed, we are excited for her as she begins this well-deserved new chapter in her life.

On behalf of faculty, we extend our heartfelt thanks and best wishes to Sharon for a fulfilling and enjoyable retirement. May it be filled with happiness, relaxation, and new adventures! Feel free to drop by her office to wish her well, as this is her last week!

The Island Lecture Series is pleased to present a talk by Heidi Haering on Tuesday, March 18, at 7:00 pm in the Faculty Lounge, SDU Main Building, Room 201.

Drawing on anthropological fieldwork for a master鈥檚 thesis, this talk will deal with the struggle to define the 鈥渇amily farm鈥� in PEI and how this ambiguity helps or hinders the work of farmers, agribusiness and government. It will discuss how participant definitions of the 鈥渇amily farm鈥� contrasted with how they farmed and were sometimes at odds with their ideals. This talk will also shed light on the possible reasons that agribusiness and governments look to the pastoral romanticism of 鈥渇amily farm.鈥�

Heidi Haering lives in Charlottetown and has recently completed her MA in Anthropology from Memorial University. Her thesis is entitled: 鈥淭hree keywords in the campaign against farmland consolidation and the loss of small farms through the lens of the Prince Edward Island Chapter of the National Farmers Union."
