RESUME/VITA
Brief biography as of April 2016:
Richard Jewell is the
co-founder (with Donald Ross, Professor, University of Minnesota-Twin
Cities) and General Coordinator of the
Minnesota Colleges and Universities English and Writing annual conference,
with 150-200 attendees annually, and its listserv of over 2500 Minnesota,
Wisconsin, northeastern Iowa and eastern Dakotas college and university
faculty members.
He has been a tenured member of the English
and Humanities departments at Inver Hills Community College in suburban
St. Paul since 2001, where he was the lead co-advisor of the honor society
2005-2015, the coordinator of the twice yearly "Student Success Day" for
six years, and, for a year, the college's undergraduate research
conference coordinator. He also has served on various committees on campus
including Academic Council and the Research Across Disciplines committee,
and as coordinator/chair of the English Department for a year. He appeared
on the finalist list three times for the student-elected "Faculty Member
of the Year" Award, and in 2014-15, he won it.
Before 2001, he
was a full-time “Education Specialist” in composition for the English
Department of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities for five years. There, he
was coordinator of the composition web site and received three grants: for
planning a computer lab specialized for teaching writing, for updating the web site,
and for creating the
Online Grammar Handbook. He also won UM's "Adjunct English Faculty
of the Year" Award in 2000.
Richard has a master’s degree
in English from St. Cloud State University, one of the two largest state
universities in Minnesota; and two master’s degrees in religion from San
Francisco Theological Seminary. In earlier decades he has been a farm
boy, grocery-store carry out, hippie, food cooperative co-manager, social
worker, and free-lance magazine writer. Over the
years, he has presented at several dozen national, regional, and state
academic conferences and written a number of articles, stories, and
academic essays that have
been published in magazines and academic journals.
He also is
the author of several online publications: the composition textbook
WritingforCollege.org (130,000 hits as of 4/16), the online humanities handbook
Experiencing the Humanities at
OnlineHumanities.org, and the directory Online Grammar Handbook
at
OnlineGrammar.org
(200,000 hits). In
2014, a link to the most popular of these, the Online Grammar Handbook,
was posted by Dr. Muriel Harris, author of two popular college English
handbooks—Writer’s FAQs and The Prentice Hall Reference Guide—on
the national Writing Lab Newsletter's Twitter and Facebook
accounts. She reported that both the national writing centers organization
and CCCC, the international college writing organization, retweeted the
link.
After fifteen years of full-time work at his current college, in fall 2016
he is taking half-time retirement for three years, and then full-time
retirement starting May 2019. In retirement, he plans to continue
helping with MnWE.org (the state colleges
and universities English Conference); tent camping and
traveling; spending more time with his children and grandchildren in
France and in Rochester, Minnesota; and pursuing new and old writing
projects.
