View To The U: Office Of The V.p., Research (utm)

Have you ever wondered about what all the role of a Dean entails? Well, we have got a guest for that: on this episode of VIEW to the U, UofT Mississauga’s current Vice-Principal, Academic and Dean Amrita Daniere fills us in on the joys and the challenges associated with serving in this role at UTM, as well as some of her priorities for the UTM campus. Amrita Daniere also talks about her research related to informal settlements, housing, and urban infrastructure around the world, but particularly in cities of the Global South, with much effort devoted to Southeast Asia. This episode is dedicated to Professor Barbara Murck from UTM's Department of Geography, Geomatics, and Environment, who was an exceptional member of the UTM community and has impacted the campus and UofT immeasurably. She passed away suddenly in October 2022. Resources: Kudoboard for Barbara Murck is at https://www.kudoboard.com/boards/Onj9a3Nf.
