Brent Lee will replace Cheryl Collier as dean of the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences during her tenure as interim provost, she announced Monday.

The appointment took effect April 7 and will last for up to two years or until Dr. Collier returns to the position, whichever comes first.

Dr. Lee is currently FAHSS associate dean, graduate studies. He originally joined the University of Windsor in 2002 and has been a full professor in the School of Creative Arts since 2014.

As associate dean, his responsibilities have included supporting faculty research, supporting graduate study in FAHSS and the broader university community, developing policies and procedures within the faculty, and representing the dean’s office in a range of capacities.

In his tenured position as professor in the School of Creative Arts, Lee has composed more than 150 musical and media art works, ranging from orchestral music to interactive media pieces to film soundtracks. His current research and creative work seeks to identify and develop methodological tools that can be productively incorporated into inquiry-driven art practices.
