Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is chaired by the director, who is a non-voting member. It also comprises the Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences (or delegate) and eight additional voting members appointed by the dean who are tenure-stream or tenured faculty members from various disciplines in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. While the day-to-day affairs of the Institute are managed by the director and staff in the main office, the Executive Committee meets to consider and make key decisions.
A multi-disciplinary Awards Panel makes recommendations about funding decision to the Executive Committee. All members of the Executive Committee are also members of the Editorial Advisory Board of ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University Press and are frequently asked to sit on Editorial Advisory Board panels to consider specific volumes.
