Biographical history
Joseph Duffy was an Assistant Professor with the Faculty of Education at the University of Regina from 1977-1982, and a Lecturer from 1976-1977. Prior to joining the Faculty, he taught Secondary School in England from 1952-1957, and came to Saskatchewan to hold positions as Vice-Principal and Principal in rural schools from 1957 to 1965. He taught at Marion High School in Regina from 1966-1976, serving as Head of the English Department (1967-1969) and as Vice-Principal (1969-1976). Joseph Duffy's quest for knowledge found a natural outlet within the university community both as a faculty member and as a student. He received his Teacher's Certificate in 1952 from Manchester, England, and his B.A. (1966), B.A. Honours Certificate (1967), B.Ed. (1975) and M.A. (1979) from the University of Regina. He was enrolled in a Ph.D. program in Education at the University of Alberta from 1980-1982, until his death.
Custodial history
Scope and content
Fonds consists of the personal papers of educator Joseph Duffy, and has been arranged to reflect the diversity of the creator's interests. His concerns for the use (and misuse) of the English language, as well as for educational theory, are manifest in the EDUCATIONAL/INSTRUCTIONAL THEORY section. Also included in the section, and in the PUBLICATIONS section, are files relating to his work on the Department of Education's Division IV English Curriculum Committee. Joseph Duffy's active participation in professional organizations concerned about the state of the English Teaching profession is evident in the PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS category. Various PUBLICATIONS, and files relating to SECONDARY EDUCATION at Marian High School, have received their own sections. UNIVERSITY OF REGINA records have been subdivided as follows: Faculty of Education (includes the Task Force on Secondary Teacher Education); Lecture Notes - Education Courses; Joseph Duffy as Student; Students; and University of Regina - General. Perhaps the most interesting sub-category is the Lecture Notes, from which the researcher can catch glimpses of the style and technique that made Joseph Duffy a popular professor. The Joseph Duffy fonds provides insight into a man committed to excellence in his profession, driven by a quest for knowledge, and dedicated to transmitting his message in a humorous and thoughtful way.
