Otago announces Professorial promotions for 2022

Twenty-eight University of Otago academics are being promoted to the position of professor this year.

Acting Vice-Chancellor Professor Helen Nicholson praised their achievement when making the announcement today.

The promotions acknowledge the dedication and commitment of the talented group, which covers the breadth of the University's divisions and campuses.

“It is wonderful to see people succeeding across disciplines and campuses, with new professors in all four academic divisions from Dunedin, Christchurch and Wellington.

“Not only do these promotions honour these individuals and highlight their work, they emphasise the range of academic talent and expertise we have at Otago.

"I look forward to their future teaching, research and service achievements,” Professor Nicholson says.

Otago's promotion process involves thorough evaluation of each individual's record of contributions to research, teaching, and service to the University and community. It also involves input from international experts in evaluating the candidates' research contributions.

A further 52 academics are being promoted to Associate Professor, Research Associate Professor and Clinical Associate Professor.

The promotions take effect from 1 February 2022.

Simone Marshall

English and Linguistics Programme

Simone is recognised as a world expert in 15th century English literature, and on the afterlives of Geoffrey Chaucer's poetry. She has recently been invited to write a biography of Geoffrey Chaucer (Wiley/Blackwell), which will show how Chaucer's life has been hijacked over the centuries to suit the socio-political needs of writers and readers. With the assistance of two Marsden grants, Simone has written two monographs, the first, The Female Voice, argues that female authorship has been largely ignored in contemporary scholarship on medieval literature. The second monograph, The Anonymous Text: The 500-Year History of The Assembly of Ladies, argues that literary anonymity was often a strategy used by marginalised people to express their dissent. In 2011, Simone identified a previously unknown edition of The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer from 1807. This discovery has changed international views about the Chaucer corpus, and revealed how Chaucer has been used to uphold conservative white attitudes for centuries.
