SIR ARTHUR LEWIS INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC STUDIES
Dr. Holger Henke, PhD – Director
OVERVIEW The 2022/2023 academic year has been one of several transitions. Not only have we emerged from the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic, but SALISES also saw a change in its leadership. Following Professor Henry-Lee’s promotion to the position of PVC for Graduate Studies and Research, Dr. Kevin Williams, Senior Research Fellow led the Institute on an interim basis. As of February 2023, Dr. Henke assumed the directorship of the Institute. Despite the transitions, SALISES continued its mandate in research, scholarship, graduate student teaching, and policy advisement. A number of achievements have to be noted. Dr. Dacia Leslie, received the UWI/ Guardian Life Premium Teaching Award, Dr. Kevin Williams received the Prin- cipal’s Research Award 2022 for Best Publication (Article), and SALISES was con- ferred the Principal’s Research Award 2022 for Research Project Attracting the Most Research Funds. Our staff members produced numerous publications, technical reports, conference and webinar presentations, and represented SALISES in a variety of professional organizations and on numerous public boards. The Institute also projected its work by way of workshops and seminars (6). Two seminars were co-sponsored together with the Fulbright Association (NJ Chapter). SALISES outreach also extended to international researchers and students who used our Documentation Centre and Databank Unit to conduct research. SALISES was engaged in renewing previous MoUs with the Institute for Development Studies (IDS) at Sussex University and with the Global Partnership Network (GPN) funded by the DAAD – German Academic Exchange Service and in collaboration with the University of Kassel. I want to thank all members of the SALISES team – academic staff, unit lead- ers, administrative staff and our service staff – for their steadfast support during
