There's not a great deal here yet, I'm afraid. Maybe one day, I'll sort it out.
Job-related Important Things:
Links to other continuing education sites
The job
I am the Departmental Administrator for the Department of Continuing Education (DCE) at Lancaster University.
As well as the normal administrative-type stuff, among the many things I do is maintain the Departmental Records System (DoCERS). This system, which uses Paradox for DOS version 4.02, more or less keeps the Department running.
I also administer the Department's Windows NT domain and am lumbered with looking after a right mixture of PCs, some of which I even built in order to save money.
Here are some pages internal to Lancaster University - mainly minutes, DoCERS instruction manuals etc.
Research
I am a classicist and ancient historian by training. I studied at King's College London, graduating with first class honours in 1986. I then began a PhD under the supervision of Professor Averil Cameron. This was completed and awarded in 1993. The thesis was entitled Aulus Gellius and Roman Antiquarian Writing.
I have contributed a chapter on 'Aulus Gellius and the Roman Antiquarian Tradition' for the forthcoming book on The Worlds of Aulus Gellius, edited by Leofranc Holford-Strevens and Amiel Vardy.
My research interests are centred around Aulus Gellius, the development of the scientific study of the past at Rome, and literature for pleasure in the second century A.D.
Parish Registers
In the course of researching my family history, I have had occasion to transcribe some parish registers. Currently these are mainly from the Parochial Chapel of St Michael at Whitewell in Bowland, though there are a few from St Bartholomew's at Colne in Lancashire. These transcriptions are available by following this link.
My main food and wine pages, including restaurant reviews are at www.andrewstevenson.com
Of no particular interest to me, but they are stunning, so click here to see Hubble telescope images and animations. And if that's not enough have a look at NASA's Photo of the Day, mainly astronomical but also some weird stuff like a photograph of an aircraft's sonic boom.
Very sad - holiday photos:
