The University of Toronto has named Dr. Ellie Hisama<\/a><\/span> as Dean of the Faculty of Music.<\/p>\n

Hisama will begin a five-year term on July 1 following Don McLean, who has served as Dean since 2011.<\/p>\n

Hailing from the USA, Hisama is a theorist and historical musicologist currently teaching at Columbia University, where she served as the music department\u2019s vice-chair, music theory area chair.<\/p>\n

Her research focus centres on interdisciplinary studies, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and the social and political dimensions of music. Much of her academic writing focuses on musicians who have been left out of the canon, including the composer Ruth Crawford Seeger (mother to folk singers Peggy and Mike Seeger and stepmother to Pete Seeger).<\/p>\n

\"Ellie<\/p>\n

\u201cAs dean, I look forward to opening and leading conversations about how students, staff, faculty, alumni and administrators can work together towards greater diversity, equity, and inclusion in the Faculty of Music with regard to curriculum, programming, community engagement, and more,\u201d Hisama said<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the current intense focus on issues of equity, now is the time to press forward towards lasting change \u2014 change that will positively affect those at the Faculty of Music, U of T, in Toronto and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hisama was twice nominated for the Mark Van Doren Award, an honour bestowed by Columbia students on a single professor each year for excellence in teaching. She is also an inaugural recipient of the Provost\u2019s Faculty Mentoring Award, which recognizes senior faculty\u2019s work mentoring tenure-track and mid-career faculty.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaken together with her dedication to inclusive excellence and record of path-breaking scholarship,\u201d said\u00a0Cheryl Regehr, U of T vice-president and provost, \u201cit is clear that she has all the qualities to ensure the Faculty of Music\u2019s success in the years ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n
