Born in the Republic of Ireland, J. Patrick (Pat) O'Callaghan became one of the giants of print journalism in Canada and beyond.
He believed fervently in the role of a vigorous and free press in a democratic society and was quick to confront and expose any encroachment on that freedom by government or other agencies. The pen, his green Selectric typewriter, and eventually his computer were his weapons, and his newspapers his battlefields as he fought for what was in the best interests of all Canadians.
These memoirs are dedicated to those journalists who share his ideals, his integrity, and his moral imperative.
Joan has been an English teacher and department head at schools in both the Halton and York Region Boards of Education, and also served for eight years as Manager of Promotional and Educational Services for the Canadian Daily Newspaper Publishers Association.
It was during this time that she met her husband, J. Patrick O'Callaghan, publisher of such newspapers as the Windsor Star, the Edmonton Journal and the Calgary Herald, and Chairman of the Boards of the Canadian Press, the Canadian Daily Newspaper Publishers Association and the Canadian Section of the International Press Institute. Patrick O'Callaghan died in 1996 but continues to be a major influence in Joan's life.
In 1994, Joan was invited to join the Faculty of Education at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, and then the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto, in 1996. Joan has been on faculty at OISE/UT since 1996, training high school English teachers.
Joan has been the recipient of the Golden Apple Award from Queen's University Faculty of Education for Excellence in Teaching; she has been named Professor of the Year by the OISE/UT Students Council, as well as Most Engaging English Instructor and Most Inspirational Instructor.
In addition to her full-time position at OISE/UT, Joan has an active career in freelance writing, with over 30 publications to her credit. She is the author of three books, two published by Scholastic Canada and the most recent one by Rubicon.
Her freelance clients have included the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Ottawa, Maclean's Magazine, the Ontario Ministry of Food and Agriculture, the Montreal Gazette,
Joan's interests include reading, writing, live theatre, cooking and spending time with friends and family. All her activities are closely supervised by her cat Benny.
