My email practices: During the regular academic terms I try to respond to emails within two business days of receipt. I occasionally reply on weekends and holidays, but typically spend them offline. My working day may not be your working day; please do not feel obliged to reply to my emails outside of your normal working hours.
I generally respond faster to emails with clear and descriptive subject lines. If you are a student, please include our course code in the subject line of the email (to make sure it is sorted into my priority inboxes). If you don’t hear back from me in a timely manner, it’s more likely that I missed your email than that I’m intentionally ignoring you; please feel invited to send me a nudge! I’ll find it more helpful than annoying.
Alternative means of contact: I know that email will not always be the most appropriate or accessible form of communication. I am happy to arrange alternative means of contact where possible, including but not limited to phone calls, video chats, mediated or facilitated communication, in-person meetings, group conversations, and other alternatives according to our joint situations and needs.
Naming and citing: I go by the initial “C” both in professional and personal contexts, pronounced just as “sea.” My full surname is hyphenated as “Dalrymple-Fraser” pronounced as “Daal+rimple” and “fray+sir.” Please use they/them pronouns to refer to me in English, whether in professional citation or in casual conversation, and to avoid using specifically gendered language.
For students: You are welcome just to call me “C” in class and email correspondence. If you find addressing instructors or academics stressful (whether because of gendered titles, power dynamics, pronouns, etc) you have my permission just to start an email with “Hello!” or “Good Evening,” or to jump right into the message without any lead in. Just be sure you have a complete subject line, as explained in our syllabus.
Social media: I am not currently active on any social media accounts. Please contact me by email for all academic purposes. If you are looking for teaching materials or other resources I shared previously through my social media accounts, you may email me for those archived materials as well.
