September 1, 2021
Left Dalhousie University to take up a new role as Associate Vice President Research at Mount Saint Vincent University (MSVU) on September 1, 2021.
This new role will offer me the opportunity to build on my longstanding research career to co-create the new research strategic plan at MSVU, to work in areas of professional development in support of new scholars, to advance MSVU's ongoing commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility (EDIA) in research, and to ensure the responsible conduct of research, among other areas of interest to the research community at MSVU and our partners. I am very excited about this new chapter of my career and look forward to continuing to work together with you on research of joint interest across the Atlantic region, as well as nationally and internationally.
