Fulbright Chairs
Founded in 1937, Queen’s School of Business continues to innovate to ensure it provides the best business education in the world, and the academic excellence and exceptional experience that are the hallmarks of every Queen's program. Since its beginning, Queen’s School of Business has enjoyed a long and impressive record of high quality research. Our mission today is to advance business and society through excellence in research, and to improve the practice of management and leadership. Our faculty are actively engaged in research in all areas of business and management.
Like all faculty and graduate students, the holder of the Fulbright Research Chair will benefit from a vibrant research climate, with stimulating interactions in frequent seminars, workshops and brown bag lunches with other faculty, graduate students and invited professors. Queen’s School of Business provides access to resources that support their research such as financial and accounting databases, and a participant (“subject”) pool. The Fulbright Chair will also benefit from access to the University’s Research Data Centre.
The Fulbright-Queen's School of Business Research Chair offers American scholars a unique opportunity to conduct research in any area of business and management at one of North America's premier business schools. Located in the historic waterside city of Kingston, Ontario, Canada, The Monieson Centre at Queen’s School of Business, was home to Canada’s first business Fulbright Scholar.
Through the Fulbright program, a distinguished American scholar spends between four and nine months at Queen's School of Business. The Research Chair is sponsored by The Monieson Centre to conduct research on knowledge-based enterprises and works with monieson and students on research of mutual interest.
