Faculty Seminar Series

The Faculty Seminar series at St. Thomas More College began in 2006 under the sponsorship of the Dean's Office. Up to that point, STM faculty engaged in research projects might present their findings in seminars associated with their department or a particular program. The Faculty Seminar Series established a regular opportunity for our faculty to share their latest projects with their colleagues across the college. Since its creation, fourteen faculty members have presented seminars. The series has also hosted three panel discussionsand two book launches.  Topics have ranged from Plato and imagination to the Canadian beef industry to the Qubarel-Waladyah Archaeological Project.

The series remains vibrant as STM continues to intensify its research activity, as demonstrated in conference presentations, publications, and grant applications. In addition to raising awareness of the types of projects that faculty are working on, the series has also stimulated new and interdisciplinary collaborations, particularly in those academic areas in which STM offers distinctive programming.
