The Faculty of Human and Health Sciences (FHHS) Professorial Lecture series is co-hosted by the FHHS and the ÂÜÀòÉäÇø Health Research Institute (HRI).
The Faculty of Human and Health Sciences (FHHS) established its inaugural Professorial Lecture Series in Winter 2025 in partnership with the ÂÜÀòÉäÇø Health Research Institute. A Professorial Lecture highlights the career of a tenure track faculty recently promoted to Professor, and the FHHS is proud to continue this tradition of highlighting their newly promoted faculty.
These lectures are an opportunity for the professor to reflect on their research journey, the contributions they have made to their chosen field in teaching, research, and service, and the directions they still hope to strive to.
Promotion to professor is a milestone in a faculty members career and in academia the Professorial Lecture has a long history of honoring this career by bringing together colleagues, peers and students to learn more about their journey and celebrate their achievements.
