Dr. Jessica Riddell    Jarislowsky Chair of Undergraduate Teaching Excellence

"In Hope Circuits, Dr. Jessica Riddell convincingly argues for a fundamental shift in how we constitute, administer, and animate these institutions. A passionate advocate of higher education and of the humanities in particular, Dr. Riddell acknowledges the resistance to change in this millennium-old sector but sets out a grounded and achievable path that will allow universities again to flourish, and to meet the needs not just of students and scholars, but of the communities that surround and support them.”
