SFUs Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences (FASS) | Jen Marchbank, 2019 SFU Teaching Award winner @SFUFASS | Uploaded March 2020 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Jen Marchbank’s stellar teaching record has earned the professor in the Department of Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies a 2019 SFU Excellence in Teaching Award.
Rather than separating teaching, research and community activism into silos, Marchbank intertwines the three. Her own community-based research into the politics of care, gendered violence, refugee settlement, LGBTQ history and gender variant youth informs her teaching and helps her students to realize the potential of experiential learning and action for social justice.
