The Faculty of Arts is pleased to share that we have a new Teaching Fellow, Dr. George Lamont of the Department of English Language and Literature. Lamont is highly regarded for his teaching and holds numerous awards including the 2020 Arts Award for Excellence in Teaching. He joins the other five faculty Teaching Fellows who support excellent teaching within their faculties and also collaborate on a number of impactful university-wide projects.
"I am excited to take on the role of Faculty of Arts Teaching Fellow in 2022, and I welcome anyone to contact me about teaching," says Lamont. "The diversity of our disciplines in Arts presents valuable opportunities for us to learn from each other’s practices and share them with other disciplines. Everyone is busy, so we need practical means to invest in teaching that fit with our competing responsibilities."
Lamont outlines six ways in which he hopes to engage with colleagues:
Teaching Fellows are appointed by the Associate Vice-President Academic — in the case of Arts, with recommendations from Martin Cooke, Associate Dean of Arts, Undergraduate Programs. "Dr. Lamont will be an great source of expertise for individual instructors and programs looking for help with specific teaching-related issues. These might involve aspects of assignments or course design, or challenging program-related issues such as identifying learning outcomes or advancing reflexive learning. Dr. Lamont will also be engaging with Arts instructors, in order to foster a network of colleagues who are interested in discussing teaching," says Cooke.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
