A celebratory evening with UBC’s newest University Killam Professors
Join UBC’s three newest University Killam Professors to investigate how diversity and resilience inform research spanning philosophy, engineering and bacterial resistance, and explore the roles these concepts can play in ensuring the health of our minds, our bodies and our environment.
Recognized for their outstanding research and teaching careers to date with the highest honour that UBC can bestow on its faculty, the University Killam Professors will address compelling questions, including:
- How can we embrace and even celebrate value differences at a time when argument, dissent and opposition abound?
- How can atomic-level imaging allow us to selectively target bugs that acquire and optimize antibiotic resistance, while maintaining other bugs that promote everyday health?
- How does civil infrastructure relate to social justice and equity?
Presenters:
- Prof. Nemy Banthia, Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Applied Science | speaker info and presentation details
- Prof. Dominic McIver Lopes, Department of Philosophy, Faculty of Arts | speaker info and presentation details
- Prof. Natalie Strynadka, Department Biochemisty & Molecular Biology, Faculty of Medicine | speaker info and presentation details
