The University of Winnipeg is pleased to announce a cluster hire of eight Indigenous faculty members across the Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Science, Gupta Faculty of Kinesiology and Applied Health, Faculty of Business and Economics, and Global College.
The Indigenous cluster hire is part of a larger effort to advance Reconciliation and increase BIPOC faculty representation at UWinnipeg. The process began in January of this year.
"As a university committed to Indigenization and decolonizing practices and methodologies, the hiring process was centered in community and relationship, working closely with our AVP, Indigenous Engagement, Indigenous Student Services Centre, faculty, Deans, and staff," said Dr. Pavlina Radia, Provost and Vice-President, Academic. "An essential part of Reconciliation is ensuring that Indigenous faculty are amply represented and supported at post-secondary institutions."
