  • Dr. Hui-Ling Lin: "Dr. Lin examines representations of racialized, gendered bodies in films produced by Chinese-Canadian queer women filmmakers. Through interviews and film analysis she shows that these filmmakers represent Chineseness, gender, and sexuality in ways that highlight embodied knowledge, contextualized identities. The research contributes to current debates in postcolonial and sexuality studies." (May 2011)
  • Dr. Maria Lourdes de Guzman Carrillo: "Dr. Carrillo explored transnational feminism of Filipino women engaged in community-based activism for social change in the Philippines, Netherlands, Vancouver. Interviews showed assertive response to globalization. The study links feminism, socialism and nationalism in new ways, combining class-race-gender analysis with the application of grassroots feminist theory." (May 2009)

UBC Bioenergy Research and Demonstration Project

This project is the first combined heat and biomass system in North America. It will generate both heat and clean electricity through biomass gasification. For the UBC campus, the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions will be equivalent to taking 1100 cars off the road.
