Celebrating CoHASS's 2025 Tenured & Newly Promoted Professors

NTU’s College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (CoHASS) proudly marks an important milestone in 2025, as we recognise colleagues who have been awarded tenure and promoted to full professorship.
Their achievements span art, design, and media, psychology, sociology, public policy and global affairs, and communication; diverse fields that together embody the College’s spirit of interdisciplinary excellence. Each brings unique expertise, yet collectively they share a commitment to advancing knowledge, inspiring students, and engaging with pressing issues of our time.
As we celebrate these faculty members, we also highlight the unifying strength of CoHASS: fostering dialogue across disciplines to address complex questions, enrich education, and shape impactful scholarship within NTU and beyond.
