The UBC Faculty of Education is pleased to announce an extension of Dr. Mary Bryson’s appointment as Academic Director of the Public Humanities Hub through June 30, 2025.
The Public Humanities Hub (PHH) began as a three-year pilot project in 2019 to foster and support collaborative research, as well as to highlight and develop public-facing research in the Humanities at the UBC Vancouver. Research grants, awards and fellowships are made available annually through funding support from the Faculty of Arts, the Allard School of Law, the Faculty of Education, and the Office of the VP Research and Innovation.
Dr. Mary Bryson joined the PHH in April 2023, initially as Academic Co-Director, followed by their appointment as Academic Director for the 2023/24 year.
The PHH has achieved a number of significant successes, made possible by Dr. Bryson’s effective management of the PHH’s administration, communications, and programming. Working in collaboration with other units, Dr. Bryson has expanded PHH’s programming through the creation of a Noted Scholar Lecture Series — lectures and panels designed to showcase exemplary forms of interdisciplinary and community engaged scholarship.
Dr. Bryson has also continued support for innovative research and knowledge mobilization around key interdisciplinary themes in Public Humanities through funding programs for faculty and graduate students across the three affiliated Faculties: Arts, Education, and Law.
Dr. Bryson’s appointment as Academic Director of the Public Humanities Hub is extended through June 30, 2025.
