New International Fellow
24.01.2012
The University is delighted to welcome Dr. Marni Westernman, Chair of Anthropology and Sociology at Douglas College, Vancouver as visiting International Academic for the semester.
With an extensive background in research, teaching and policy development, coupled with an understanding of community organisations, Dr Westernman brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to Trinity Saint David. She will work closely with the School of Social Justice and Inclusion undertaking a research project and guest lecturing.
The project is called "Measuring the Effects of Diversity Infused Content in Introductory Sociology Courses in Diverse and Non-Diverse Student Populations". Data will be collected at both Trinity Saint David and Douglas. Dr. Westernman will report back on the initial finding of her research at the University’s Internationalisation forum on April 27 2012.
Associate Professor and Head of School of Social Justice and Inclusion:
“We are delighted to have Dr Westerman working with us as our International Fellow. Our students will benefit from her range of expertise and her involvement across the School's disciplines will give staff opportunities to draw on her experience and knowledge.”
International Officer, Kathleen Adnum adds:
“Trinity Saint David has a strong relationship with Douglas College based in Vancouver. Each year, it hosts a summer school and currently has 7 students finishing their degree on the Carmarthen campus. In May, students will take part in a 3 week summer programme in Douglas.”
