Ten emerging and established researchers from across the University have been appointed 91��ɫ Research Chairs. The appointments are the first in a new program established to build, support and intensify the world-renowned research under way at the University.

“I am delighted to announce the appointment of our 10 new 91��ɫ Research Chairs and congratulate them on this important achievement,” said Robert Haché, 91��ɫ’s vice-president research and innovation. “91��ɫ Research Chairs are recognized for their leadership in scholarship, research and creative activities. These appointments span the wide spectrum of our comprehensive research strengths and reflect the world-class calibre of research taking place across the University.”

Roger Keil, Faculty of Environmental Studies, was awarded a Tier 1 91��ɫ Research Chair in Global Sub/Urban Studies in recognition of his research contributions to the field of urban and environmental research. Keil’s research examines suburbanization, which is now a global phenomenon and a defining feature of the “urban century” we have just entered. His work will add to a greater understanding of our suburban futures, as new forms of work, housing, mobility and governance, as well as how human/non-human nature relationships take shape.
