Session Description:
Come join Dr. Mary Drinkwater and Dr. Julia Christensen Hughes for an exciting kick-off for the Bloomsbury Handbook Speaker Series here at Yorkville University and the Toronto Film School!
The Bloomsbury Handbooks of Crises and Transformative Leadership in Higher Education explores valuable lessons learned from experiences under extreme conditions, and how these might inform the post-pandemic, post-change or post-crisis directions for higher education. The Handbooks feature contributions from 11 Yorkville University faculty, who will share their chapters over the course of the rest of this year.
In this kick-off session, Dr. Drinkwater and Dr. Christensen Hughes will discuss inspirations behind the project, key learnings, and practical implications for YU + TFS.
