  • Social History: Domestic service, etiquette, forms and formality

Current interest: History of dog breeds: Specializing in Australian Working Dogs; National dog breeds; Independent dog breeds

BA in history; minor: political theory; minor: film theory. Graduate courses: History. Ten years’ experience in methods analysis and procedural writing. Professional ballroom dance teacher and performer for over 10 years. Co-founder of a theatre performance group.


Current/recent publications

Articles:

  • Not just Another Pretty Face: The Working Origins of Australia’s Show Dogs. In Dog’s Life magazine, March-April 2007.
  • The Border Collie. Anticipated publication: December, 2007. [Part of a continuing series The All-Australian Dog in the Southern Village View Magazine. Published so far: The Australian Cattle Dog, The Jack Russell Terrier, The Koolie, The Miniature Fox Terrier, The Tenterfield Terrier.


Books

  • The 20th Anniversary Show Book: Twenty Years of the Mini Foxie Club of Australia. ISBN: 0-9758380-0-8. Sydney: 2006. Editor and contributor.
  • The Registry Handbook. Writing this at the moment.


A Radio Interview:

Other

  • I was hard at work on a novel when September 11th happened and turned my entire universe upside down. I'm getting back into it, but it has been easier to concentrate on non-fiction.
  • I wrote and had a reading of a play, Troth, but it has not been published. I also write songs and wrote and performed youth workshops in the theatre group I co-founded. (I was too young to know that that couldn't be done because it's too hard to do.) Almost all my family are into performance, at least as amateurs, my mother and aunt are trained singers and my maternal grandmother was an actress of some note.
  • I have very high hopes for Citizendium.

Stuff I'll be working on as I can:

  • User:Aleta Curry/dogs - I'm organizing dog topics here. Or just jotting things down as I think of them. Or whatever. Feel free to have a look and drop a line.

Helpful hints pour moi:

  • to add a category: [[:Category:Biology Workgroup]]--with a preceeding colon places the category on the page. Without, it places what you're writing into the category.
  • Aleks pointed me to this WP author template:

My understanding is that since I wrote this text, I do not need to put a "from Wikipedia" message on this text, but instead should leave a notice stating that this was based on my original work for WP and I intend to maintain it.
