The Institute for Community Engaged Research (ICER) is located on the third floor of the ARTS building in Arts 368 (UBC Okanagan campus).
Effective July 1, Dr. Christine Schreyer assumed the director’s role from Dr. Jon Corbett. Many of you know Dr. Christine Schreyer through her work with the Nsyilxcn Language Fluency program. You can read more about her work here. Her office continues to be ARTS 368C.
Jon Corbett has become the department head for Community, Culture and Global Studies and his new office is now on the second floor in Arts 267. With Jon’s departure, we’re delighted to welcome Dr. John Lyon and Dallas Goodwater to the ICER space where they are sharing ARTS 368B. Dr. John Lyon teaches in the Bachelor of Nsylxcn Language Fluence degree, and Dallas is the Community Liaison and Instructional Coordinator for Community, Culture and Global Studies.
We’re also delighted to welcome Dr. Aaron Derrickson to the ICER space. Dr. Derrickson is a lecturer in the department of Community, Culture and Global Studies and is working out of Arts 368D while Dr. Berg is on sabbatical.
The Institute has a social drop-in hour on Tuesdays from 11:30 to 12:30, and “Shut-up and Write” drop- in hours on Thursdays from 10:30 to 12:30. Everyone is welcome!
