University of Alberta Distinguished Professor and political scientist Andy Knight. -
Former director of the Institute of International Relations (IIR) at UWI, St Augustine and political scientist Prof Andy Knight has been named Distinguished Professor at the University of Alberta, a leading Canadian university.
Knight, a Barbadian by birth, discussed the recognition with Newsday in a WhatsApp exchange. Being recognised as University of Alberta Distinguished Professor is a real honour, but also a very humbling experience. You have to bear in mind that this is one of the highest honours that can be bestowed on a professor at the university.
