Dr. Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti, Dean of the Faculty of Education.  Dr. Andreotti is a former Canada Research Chair in Race, Inequalities and Global Change (see  about her research program with Dr. Cash Ahenakew) and a former David Lam Chair in (critical) Multicultural Education (see ). Dr. Andreotti has held academic positions in the UK, Republic of Ireland, Aotearoa/New Zealand and Finland. She has worked extensively across disciplines, sectors and communities problematizing and offering alternatives to common approaches to social change that reproduce simplistic solutions to complex problems, paternalistic relationships with historically and systemically marginalized communities and ethnocentric ideals of sustainability, equity and justice. She is one of the co-founders of the Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures () Arts/Research Collective. Dr. Andreotti is also a member of the College of New Scholars of the Royal Society of Canada. She joins the Faculty of Education at UVic with a mandate to advance decolonization, Indigenization, equity, justice and climate resilience efforts.
