I'm very pleased to report that after a year as a lecturer in the Department of English at Uppsala University, I have been awarded a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in the same department. This is exactly what I need at this point in my career, so I am more than a little excited. Read more about it on my blog.

I am currently in the process of updating and improving this site. Please pardon any inconveniences this creates. In the end, there should be more useful information and more fun stuff here, so please do check back.

I'm happy to report that after an entire decade as a graduate student (albeit part-time, while doing many other things as well), I have finally submitted my thesis and will be defending it on March 26. This means that I will finally have my PhD and will be allowed to wear long trousers. And possibly even get a permanent university position. For more verbose discussion, see my blog. Now I get to work on lots of projects at once. Stay tuned...

I realize that I hardly ever post news on this site. It's not that I don't want you to know things, but just that I'm so busy these days. But it's high time for me to post some significant news: Annelie and I have bought a flat in Stockholm and will be moving there in mid-June. Yes, after two years in Härnösand, we're moving to the big city, which is actually still one of the smallest cities I've lived in. Stockholm seems like it may be a very good place for us. Let's hope so! I'll try to sum up my Härnösand experiences on the blog, so check back there for updates. Now off to pack!

As part of my job teaching writing to Swedish university students, I have created a new website: Gregory's Writing Site. This features a collection of guidelines to help advanced learners of English write better. If you're interested, feel free to take a look.

I've put up some pictures of Härnösand in my photo gallery, so now you can see what the town looks like. I've also started describing life here in my blog. Links to both are at the very top of the page. Enjoy!

I've reimplemented my website using a content-management system called Drupal. This should make it easier for me to add content, which will make it a better and more interesting place.

I am, however, continuing to use WordPress for my blog, "Over Here", since WordPress is much better for blogging. See the top of the page for a link to the blog. There's also a link there to my photo gallery.
