THE UWI CAVE HILL DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS

the Faculty continued with the task of developing its teaching and

research endeavours informed by the core principles of critical thinking, competent communication skills

and creative expression. Also, the Faculty increasingly incorporated the technological enhancements of

upon three primary pillars of Access, Alignment, and Agility, the Faculty has continued to fulll its Mission

Statement “to generate and promote by its teaching, research and other academic activities, the intellectual

excellence and creativity of its students, staff and people of the Caribbean through an understanding of

their educational and social needs and by active engagement with the scholarship of other cultures."

Traditionally, individuals with rst degrees

in Education generally travel to the

Cave Hill Campus to pursue graduate

studies with the School of Education (SOE). Unfortunately, for most of these individuals, there are several factors that prevent them from pursuing this goal.

These include, for example, personal and

professional obligations and insuf cient funding. As a solution to this problem, from August/September 2018, the SOE started to provide such individuals with access to graduate education by partnering with the national colleges in the Eastern

Caribbean countries to deliver their

graduate degrees in the country, thus removing the need to leave family, job and other obligations to go to a different country to study.

The Faculty remained fairly vibrant in its

outreach activities. The CI has continued to facilitate requests to teach Chinese to summer school students of The UWI

Open Campus and the Guild of Students.

The Institute has also continued to teach

evening classes to students and faculty of

The UWI Cave Hill Campus and members

of the general public. In addition, CI has continued with Chinese language and culture classes at Ellerslie School and St.

Stephen's Primary School. The classes

have been extended to Springer Memorial

School and the Charles F. Broome School.

The CI actively participated in the Campus

Job Fair held on March 7, 2019. It had

displays and presentations showing the opportunities available to those who study Chinese language and culture, or may wish to consider studying in China. The CI also organized and hosted the 2 nd

Annual Confucius Institute Lecture

on January 28, 2019. The lecture was delivered by Professor Hongsheng Ren,

Associate Dean, School of Politics and

Public Administration, China University

of Political Science and Law (CUPL). His lecture was entitled “One Belt One Road and the Development of the Caribbean

Region."

The Faculty remains committed to the

academic well-being of its students and in this respect the Faculty has resuscitated the staff-student liaison meetings. The

Faculty intends to make these meetings

a regular feature in its calendar for both undergraduate and graduate programmes.

In addition, as a way of keeping abreast of

the progress of its graduate students, the

Faculty Of ce has started compiling a data

base of its graduate students indicating members of each student's Advisory/

Supervisory Committee and whether

or not the student's current progress report has been submitted. This will enable the Faculty Of ce to track the progress of its graduate students with ease rather than rely wholly on the School of

Graduate Studies and Research (SGSR) for

information on the progress of graduate students. The Faculty Of ce has therefore requested that any correspondence between the Heads of Departments (or

Coordinators of graduate programmes)

and the SGSR should be copied to the Faculty Of ce.In manifesting the University's character that students were the core of its existence, the Faculty continued with the tradition of the annual Faculty Prize-

Giving Ceremony which it resuscitated in

2017/2018. This annual event highlights the

academic performances of those students who were recipients of the various prizes in the Faculty, as well as those who had achieved their degrees with rst class honours.

As part of its objective to effect curricula

reform, the Faculty saw the approval of a revised Masters' programme in Theology.

The focus of this revised programme is

Caribbean and African Theology and this is

consistent with the University's Strategic

Plan (2017/2022). Within the Academy,

the discipline of Philosophy plays a cardinal role and it is with this view in mind that an MPhil/PhD programme in Philosophy has been developed and is going through the approval process. It is intended that the new programme will come on stream in January 2020. The discipline of Cultural

Studies is developing a BA programme

and this was necessitated by the keen interest shown by students to courses in the discipline as well as the relative success of the Minor in Cultural Studies.

Also, as a result of a request made by

the student body, the Confucius Institute (CI) is developing a co-curricular course in Chinese Culture. The Errol Barrow

Centre for Creative Imagination (EBCCI)

has completed the review and redesign of its academic curriculum and the approval process has begun.

The programme accepted ve (5)

candidates for the graduate programme in September 2018, one (1) MA, three (3) MPhil and one (1) PhD. This matched the marked improvement of the previous academic years, and suggests that the decline in the number of students in the programme in 2014-16 has now been arrested.The undergraduate Minor in Cultural

Studies was offered again this year. Several

students across disciplines opted to take courses in the programme. Cultural

Studies courses continued to be popular

with a number of exchange students who signed up for courses at the undergraduate level. A number of students adopted the

Sociology with Cultural Studies Minor

programme, while students in History and in Philosophy continue to opt to do the

Minor.
