We are proud to be home to Dr. Tony Fang, Stephen Jarislowsky Chair in Cultural and Economic Transformation.

This Jarislowsky chairship was established at Memorial University through the support of the Stephen Jarislowsky Foundation, Elinor Gill Ratcliffe, and Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. This marks the Foundation’s first investment at Memorial, adding to its strong national legacy of supporting higher education.

The $2-million chair promotes research on cultural change, with a focus on global and local cultures, immigration integration and retention, diasporas, and demographic shifts.
