1/4 I joined JWIL @jwilonline in 2015 - ten years ago! It was just after I had decided to leave my full-time teaching position at St. John’s University in NY. That was a complex and hard decision to leave behind my institutional affiliation.

As we say farewell to Velma Pollard, we celebrate decades of Caribbean teaching & community building. Pollard, Michael Dash & Victor Chang are all now gone, but their literary & educational legacies continue to bear fruit in new generations of Caribbean scholarship & creativity.
Journal of West Indian Literature@jwilonline

Contributor: Velma Pollard A photograph of Michael Dash and Victor Chang with me in 1988. They were great friends. They gave me the title O.T. (Old Teacher) because I had taught them both in high school: Chang at Kingston College, Jamaica, Dash at St. Georges College, Trinidad.
