Hey there, time traveller!

Brandon University has launched a tool to help its researchers share their expertise with media, industry, government and colleagues.
In partnership with the Office of Research Services, the Information Technology Services at BU developed a searchable online list of experts, highlighting their areas of interest as well as their availability for taking inquiries from the media and public or for research collaborations.
“Our faculty have gained great knowledge through their research, education and experience, and their insight is in high demand,” BU associate vice-president (research) Heather Duncan said. “Media, from local to international, turn to our people for their expertise, and our researchers collaborate with peers around the globe on cutting-edge and meaningful projects.”
The development of an experts list was an action item in BU’s Strategic Research Plan 2021-2025 and the goal was reiterated in Mamaawii-atooshke aakihkiwiin, BU’s Strategic Plan, launched in 2022, as a strategy to contribute to the university’s goal of facilitating community success.
“I applaud the efforts of our staff and faculty, who have done an outstanding job of compiling information and resources into a user-friendly tool that will meet the needs of a wide range of community members,” Duncan said. “We are only scratching the surface of the tremendous volume of expertise that we have on hand. The expert’s list will continue to grow as more and more researchers join.”
The expert’s list includes the participation of representatives from Brandon’s faculties of Arts, Education, Health Studies and Science, as well as the School of Music. Areas of expertise touch on everything from agriculture to religion, health care, gender and business.
