Dr. Joy Johnson, President and Vice Chancellor, Simon Fraser University

“We as educators have a lot to learn from them, and by more directly engaging them and involving them in some co-learning capacity, we will benefit, and the classroom environment will benefit, and learning will benefit.” Join Dr. Joy Johnson, President and VC at Simon Fraser University, in conversation with Dr. Noreen Golfman, as they reflect on personal experiences in academia and the evolving challenges faced by university leaders. Together they discuss the role of dialogue and productive disagreement in education; recognizing individual skills and capacities for authentic leadership; listening to students and embracing AI technology for better learning environments; and Joy’s advice to aspiring leaders - in particular future female leaders.
