Faculty

Serving on the FAUW Board of Directors or one of our committees is an opportunity for you to represent your colleagues and contribute to the collegial governance of the University. It is a great way to learn about the functioning of the University, and to build your service portfolio in a way that is both relevant to your performance review and personally interesting and rewarding.

We have a growing range of opportunities to get involved with FAUW, including our:

This workshop is designed for instructors who are curious about integrating climate justice into their courses. Climate justice seeks to understand and address the injustices and inequities that arise from climate change. Courses across disciplines can find connections to climate justice as it is an intersectional and transdisciplinary field. In this workshop, participants will engage in an experiential and reflective learning activity, adapted from Monocultures of the Mind, to explore reductionist and transdisciplinary thinking. Participants will also gain practical tools and resources to integrate climate justice into their courses with dedicated time to apply these tools to their own courses. 

We will spend 15 minutes outdoors, so please dress for the weather.

The Faculty Association and Staff Association have teamed up to print and distribute more than 5,000 pride flag stickers to employees. Posting your sticker somewhere visible in your workspace is one small way to show your support for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in the wake of the hate attacks of June 28 targeting that community. We hope that thousands of pride stickers displayed all over our four campuses will help send the message that all members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community belong at Waterloo. 

Each unit will get a package of flags to distribute amongst staff and faculty, so talk to whoever handles the mail for your department! 

The Lecturers Committee will be hosting its winter 2022 town hall meeting on Thursday, March 24 from 2:30–4:00 p.m. The meeting is open to all lecturers and is a forum to discuss concerns related to working conditions, Policy 76/77 developments, contract renewals, and more.
