‘An academic with a beautiful mind’
Mar 22nd, 2023 | Category: GLEANER PREMIUM | 29:17#jamaicagleaner Dr Heather Ricketts has smashed the iron curtain of male dominance of the deanship in the Faculty of Social Sciences at The University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona campus, becoming the first female and its fifth dean. The eyes of all the men before her watch her entrance and exit from their portraits on the wall in the hallway to her office, and even as she acknowledges their academic brilliance, she is wearing her own size shoes, not interested in filling others. Even if they did, the style would definitely be different. Salutations have greeted the promotion of the Grenadian-born Caribbean woman, with relatives by blood and marriage in several territories.
