	Board of Directors
	Dr. Chris Burnham Dr. Chris Burnham, Regents Professor of English, has served at NMSU since 1981. Formerly Department Head and Writing Program Director in the English department, his academic specialties include writing and the teaching of writing, writing across the curriculum, rhetorical theory and the history of rhetoric, the essay as a literary genre, journals and autobiography. For more than 25 years he directed the annual Writing Across the Curriculum at NMSU. His primary pedagogical and scholarly objective is encouraging the ethical and civic development of students and assisting teachers in this same work.From 1981 to 1993, he co-directed the New Mexico State Writing Project, the original NWP site in New Mexico. Returning as Director of BWP has allowed him to continue my most important work, helping teachers and students become better learner and writers.
	Barbara Pearlman I always say that I came to Hillsboro and Truth or Consequences as a kind of mistake but it was really by accident. Born and raised in New York and suburban Long Island, my first life was centered in the arts getting undergraduate and graduate degrees in Fine Arts with an emphasis in Photography. Seventeen year in Los Angles was grounded in the visual arts, graphic design, art direction and teaching. From 1975 I taught and coordinated the Photography Department for UCLA’s Extension program until I left for El Paso in 1990. My teaching hiatus ended in January of 1992 when, by fortunate accident, I was contacted and asked if I would be willing to teach freshman English at Hot Spring High School mid-term. I now consider my self not only a high school teacher by having found my “home” and part of the community that embraces both TorC and Hillsboro. A MA from NMSU and Middlebury College has made the last 12 years a rich and continually challenging experience. My involvement with Writing Projects began as participant of the 1995 NM State Summer Institute, and continues now as the Associate Director of BWP. My passions are grass roots political and environmental activism, good food and conversation, teaching and learning. I share my heart with David, Ellie, my family and close friends. Contentment has been hard won and remains a work in progress.
	michael alarid (connect via LinkedIn!) i am currently working toward my Doctorate in the Rhetoric and Professional Communication program at NMSU. i participated in the 2012 Summer invitational Institute and have enjoyed continuing my inquiry work and the invaluable connections i established with educators at area schools. i came back to Grad School (and New Mexico) after 6 years in the Human Resources game in the tech and entertainment industries in Los Angeles, CA. i had always known i wanted to teach (it’s where my heart is), it just took me a while to get here. and i missed everything about New Mexico – the skies, the magickal desert, the mountains, the air, the chile. so now i’m back – and this time, it’s personal! i teach classes as a graduate teaching assistant in the English Department, and i enjoy writing about identity, gender, composition, mysteries, witchery, and impossible things. i live, love, and experience every day with new excitement with my girlfriend, Erin, and our cat & dog, Chairman & Kira.
