Higher Education
I-Chant
Chiang
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
I have been examining the role words play in creating cohesion and division for the last 16 years. At Stanford University and Aberystwyth University, my research explored the cognitive effects of politicized language, leading to the construction of bias. My research has informed my role as an educator where I bring awareness towards the power and nuances of language.
As an executive, a facilitator, and a strategist, I thrive on breaking down assumptions and biases and bringing people together.

At Quest University, I served as Executive Vice President overseeing the university's Academics, Admissions, Athletics, Facilities & Operations, HR & Finance. This position provided me the opportunity to develop an innovative parental leave policy grounded in evidence, updating Quest’s vision, mission, and values through community consultation and establishing a framework for the university's first institutional assessment.
