Dr. Linda Tym has 20 years of experience working in higher education at six different institutions in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, which has given her a broad understanding of administration, education, and research. She completed her Ph.D. in English Literature at the University of Edinburgh and was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at The Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities. Dr. Linda Tym is currently Chair and Associate Professor of English at Burman University.
As a lifelong learner, Dr. Tym finds institutional organization, planning, and administration invigorating and is passionate about personal, professional, and curriculum development. She has pursued professional training in Cultural Intelligence (2018); Emotional Intelligence (2021); and Bowen Systems Theory (2023). Under the mentorship of Dr. Linda Elder, she became Certified in the Paul-Elder Approach to Critical Thinking (2023) before becoming a Foundation Scholar.
In addition to Dr. Tym’s focus on fairminded critical thinking in education, her research focuses on memory studies, Scottish literature, and Scottish-Canadian diasporic literature. Her work has been published in the Scottish Literary Review, Journal of the Short Story in English, Macmillan Interdisciplinary Handbooks: Gender series, and Gale Cengage’s Contemporary Literary Criticism series.
In her teaching, research, and administrative roles, Dr. Tym is convinced that fairminded critical thinking is the necessary foundation to fulfill the true purpose of education: facilitating the learning process through teaching and research that models and upholds the intellectual standards and fosters the development of positive intellectual traits in administrators, faculty, staff, and students.
