Welcome Dr. Brett Buchanan, Dean of Arts
Posted on: Aug 2, 2022
Join us in welcoming Dr. Brett Buchanan as CUE’s new Dean of Arts!
Brett was recently the Director of the School of the Environment and a Full Professor of Philosophy at Laurentian University. His areas of research and teaching include the environmental humanities, animal studies, and continental philosophy, and these interdisciplinary interests spill over into affiliated disciplines and areas.
He is a passionate advocate of the arts, the environment, sports, and higher education. He has actively worked and volunteered with local groups to promote safer, healthier, and more inclusive lifestyles, as well as with national and international organizations and associations.
He loves to travel with his family, and pursue outdoor activities, like gardening, swimming, biking, running, and cross-country skiing. He also enjoys reading, attending concerts and shows, and the company of friends. As a former Edmontonian, he is thrilled to return home and join the CUE community. He is also a long-suffering Oilers fan, and believes he has moved back at just the right time. You can find out more about him here: https://brettbuch.wixsite.com/brettbuchanan
