Rebecca Luce-Kapler — Dean, Faculty of Education
The university recently announced the appointment of Rebecca Luce-Kapler as dean of the Faculty of Education for a five-year term effective July 1, 2015.
Dr. Luce-Kapler is currently associate dean of graduate studies and research in the Faculty of Education, in which role she has led several important initiatives including the development and implementation of the online Professional Master of Education program.

Her research interests focus on the integral role of literary practices, particularly writing, in the development of human consciousness and identity. This work has contributed to understanding the normative power of cultural forms and the importance of interpretive reading and writing practices for generative learning and teaching.
Dr. Luce-Kapler is also a poet with a number of literary publications, including a poetry collection, The gardens where she dreams.
