Stephen Guy-Bray, Professor, Department of English Language and Literatures
I was head of my department for five years, a member of SAC for two years, and a member of the Faculty Association executive for two years, so I have a lot of experience with promotion and tenure at all levels and with all kinds of cases. The challenge is to find a way of working that honours departmental differences while still maintaining some kind of consistency and, as far as possible, transparency. Doing this work is one of the most important things that we do as professors and I am eager to participate.
Corey Hamm, Professor, School of Music
Dr. Corey Hamm is Professor of Piano, Piano Literature, and Chamber Music. He has premiered over three hundred solo, chamber, and concerto works, and he has made numerous recordings of these and other works. His duo PEP (Piano and Erhu Project), which brings together these two iconic Chinese and western instruments, and the traditions, styles, and cultures that accompany them, have performed PEP works by over seventy composers since 2012. Corey considers his work on DAC these past two years to be among his most important contributions to UBC service, and he is proud to have been part of this very serious review process.
Miu Chung Yan, Professor, School of Social Work
I was elected as a member of the DAC five years ago but the appointment was cut short when I took up the directorship of the School. Both appointments gave me many opportunities to enrich my learning and appreciation of the importance of a rigorous, fair, and, particularly, equitable process of hiring, promotion and tenure. Joining the DAC again, I hope to contribute my personal and professional experience and learning to strengthen the Faculty of Arts community’s scholarly excellence and its commitment to equity and inclusion.
