Best For Both Worlds

Some career updates: Mark Lamster, a Brooklyn, N.Y.-based author and lecturer, has joined the University of Texas at Arlington as a professor of practice in architecture. He has also been hired as an architecture critic for The Dallas Morning News. Finally, he will become a research associate at the David Dillon Center for Texas Architecture.

The American University School of Communication and The Washington Post this month announced a joint hire of their own: the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter John Sullivan.
