Candidates for Election to the Faculty Council: Professors and Associate Professors
Penelope Davies, Professor, Art and Art History
Yvon Delville, Professor, Psychology
I joined the Psychology Department at UT in 1999. My research addresses stress, social behavior, and obesity. I have no experience with faculty governance, but I would be honored to serve our campus in these difficult times.
Hans Hofmann, Professor, Integrative Biology
I have served on faculty council on and off for the past 12 years. I have also been a member or have chaired several FC committees, including the Faculty Grievance Committee (of which I am currently the chair). From 2012 through 2018, I served as Director of the Center for Computational Biology & Bioinformatics. In 2016, I became founding Director of the Center for Biomedical Research Support (through 2018).
Teresa Hubbard, Professor, Art and Art History
Kamran Ali, Professor, Anthropology
Filippo Mangolini, Associate Professor, Mechanical Engineering
Hervé Picherit, Associate Professor, French and Italian
César Salgado, Associate Professor, Spanish and Portuguese
Jonathan Sessler, Professor, Chemistry
I have served on and off on Faculty Council for the better part of a decade. As a member of the Department of Chemistry and having made payroll, so to speak, for four decades as an active researcher while remaining dedicated to our intertwined core missions of teaching and service, I understand well the pressures faculty face. I thus believe I can articulate well the concerns of my colleagues. As a member of both the National Academy of Sciences USA and American Academy of Sciences, it is my hope that my voice will be taken seriously by the administration as I play an active and effective role in shared governance. Accordingly, it would be my honor and pleasure to serve of Faculty Council if reelected.
