King's celebrates faculty publications during Research Week
As part of Research Week, King’s University College hosted the Faculty Publication Celebration, an evening recognizing recent scholarly and creative publications by King’s faculty.
Held at the King’s Pub, the event highlighted research contributions published between January 1, 2025, and March 15, 2026, including books, edited collections, and art-based research projects. Together, these works reflect the breadth of scholarship at King’s and the important role faculty research plays in advancing knowledge, enriching teaching, and contributing to the wider community.
Opening remarks were delivered by Dr. Mark Yenson, Vice-President and Academic Dean, who spoke to the significance of research at King’s, the meaningful work of faculty, and the collaborative spirit that defines scholarship here, where research is deeply communal and relational.
