The new Deputy Dean will be joining at a key time, as the University enters the second phase of its ten-year strategic cycle (Sydney in 2032) and the Faculty progresses its own strategic plan. The new Deputy Dean will work alongside the Dean, Professor Lisa Adkins, as FASS looks to consolidate its position as a world-leading centre for education and research across the humanities, arts, and social science disciplines. The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Sydney is the oldest and one of the most comprehensive of its kind in Australia. The Faculty remains proud of its past while focused on the future.
