appointment will commence on January 1, 2012.

The iSchool at the University of Toronto is a
research-led Faculty educating the next
generation of professional and academic leaders
in Information who join us in transforming
society through collaboration, innovation and

material shifts in information/communication
infrastructures in conjunction with political
and cultural shifts in our attitudes toward
information as a socio-technical phenomenon,
raising significant ethical and policy challenges.
