An Interview with Emma Cunliffe, the Next Principal of Green College

On a rainy Thursday in October, Vered Shwartz—Assistant Professor in the UBC Department of Computer Science—kicked off a lecture series that caters to these needs, called AI in Education: Promises and Pitfalls.
Dr Emma Cunliffe is a Professor in the Allard School of Law and served as the Director of Research and Policy for the joint Federal-Nova Scotia Mass Casualty Commission. She will be the fourth Principal of Green College, starting in that role in 2024 while remaining cross-appointed to the Faculty of Law.
Ten minutes past the start time, chairs were still being brought into the Coach House to accommodate the overflow of guests, including Green College Advisory Board Members, Resident Members, Members of Common Room, former residents, members of the English faculty and those who share an interest in English literature.
Not a seat was empty and the walls found themselves supporting the remaining audience for Green College’s third John Grace Memorial Visitor in Residence, a residency program set up in memory of the founding Dean of Green College and former Dean of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, John Grace.
