March, 2020. The paper co-auhtored with Melissa Guenther and published in Canadian Journal for Higher Education has been attracting a lot of public interest. I have received several follow-up emails and questions regarding the paper. It is great to see that the publication is featured in University Affairs, Canada's top online platform for higher education news.
January 21, 2020. A very nice article was published on UM Today, Faculty of Education online magazine focusing on my collaborations with students on research papers. So happy for this opportunity to work with students and learn from them. Thank you also to Charlie McDougall for summarizing my reflections, taking photos and creating a great article.
September, 2019. Happy to report receiving the UM/UMFA Merit Award in Research, Scholarly Work and Creative Activities category. Great to be back at the Faculty, working with students and colleagues!
October 2019. As of October I am serving as the new Faculty of Education Senator at the University of Manitoba Senate for a three-year term. Senate is University's senior academic governing body that meets once per month with agendas and minutes posted publicly on Senate website. Its membership include the Chancellor, the President and the Vice-Presidents of the University, Deans of Faculties, Directors of Schools, Faculty members elected by Faculty and School Councils, students elected by the students and representatives of the Board of Governors and the Alumni Association. My role is to participate in the meetings and report back on the discussions to the Faculty Council.
January, 2019 - I am on a Research Study Leave from January to July 2019. Away from the University of Manitoba, busy with writing.
