Class of 1998 Liberal Arts graduate Professor Rachel Berger was appointed Vice-Provost of Innovation in Teaching and Learning at Concordia University earlier this summer.

In her new role, Professor Berger will guide the development of curriculum, pedagogy and experiential learning across Concordia. She will oversee units such as the Centre for Teaching and Learning and the Institute for Cooperative Education, while also supporting program review, curriculum innovation and the integration of teaching and learning technologies.

Since joining Concordia’s faculty in 2006, Professor Berger has taken on progressive leadership roles, including Director of the Individualized Graduate Studies Program, Associate Dean of Academic Programs and Development at the School of Graduate Studies, and co-chair of the STRIVE. A historian of South Asia, she has published widely on the histories of health, food cultures, reproductive politics and queer kinship.

Professor Berger completed her undergraduate studies in History and South Asian Studies at Concordia before pursuing graduate training at the University of Toronto and the University of Cambridge.

Marianopolis is proud to congratulate Professor Berger on her appointment and her continued contributions to higher education.
