Prof Olga Tregaskis has been appointed as Pro-Vice-Chancellor for UEA’s Social Sciences Faculty (SSF) and will start in the post on 1 August 2024.
Prof Tregaskis is currently Head of the Norwich Business School (NBS), having been appointed in 2020, after joining the School in 2011 as Professor of International Human Resource Management.
Prof Tregaskis said: “I am delighted and looking forward to working with the UEA Social Science Faculty as the new PVC. The Faculty has a strong reputation for its teaching and research excellence which we will build on to generate a flourishing academic environment, delivering opportunity that is fit for the challenges and needs of future generations of students, staff and organisational stakeholders.”
Prof Tregaskis was a founding member and Group Head of the NBS Employment Systems and Institutions Group, and Director for Academic Staff Development. Since then, she has helped establish the NBS Work and Wellbeing Research Group, which is internationally recognised for its research and engagement with policy, organisational and individual stakeholders. She served as a REF2021 sub-panel member for her subject area, Business & Management.
Olga’s research expertise is reflected in her work as scientific lead for organisational transformation in the ESRC research Centre for Climate and Social Transformations (CAST), and previously the learning and skills lead in the ESRC What Works Centre for Wellbeing. She is longstanding member of HEC Montreal’s CRIMT International Partnership on Institutional Experimentation for Better Work, which spans a network of 19 world-class research centres and institutes.
Vice-Chancellor Prof David Maguire said: “I would like to congratulate Olga on her new appointment as PVC for the Faculty of Social Sciences, and look forward to the invaluable expertise and leadership she will bring to this role.
“Her commitment to building on research excellence, academic development, and fostering collaborative networks will only continue to strengthen our Faculty of Social Sciences.”
