**Description**:
Lee Wu Kee Ming was an intrepid and enterprising Hong Kong businesswoman. She and her husband Lee Quen started their own plastic manufacturing business in Hong Kong, named Wofoo (和富), which means peace and prosperity. After success in business, Lee Wu Kee Ming shifted her focus to charitable pursuits geared towards education and the betterment of communities. To further her legacy, her children created a foundation funded by her estate to continue to support education and communities. In making this gift and naming this endowed Chair in their mother’s honour they are fulfilling her wishes to support causes in education and the betterment of communities. The new Chair in Indigenous Social Work at Canada’s leading university is in keeping with her philanthropic passions and perpetuating her legacy.

The University of Toronto, located on the traditional lands of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit and home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island, is committed to fostering an environment that respects Indigenous ways of being and enhances inclusive education. As one of the top-ranked academic universities globally, U of T is dedicated to improving our focus on advancing knowledge, promoting social justice, and supporting community-engaged research. The University of Toronto is engaged in multiple initiatives to increase access to Indigenous students, engage respectfully with local Indigenous communities, and mobilize resources and networks to promote belonging and success for Indigenous students, staff and faculty members. The University of Toronto offers a collaborative and inclusive environment that celebrates diversity, supports professional development, and strives to prioritize Indigenous perspectives and experiences.

The Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work (FIFSW) is a leader in social work education in Canada and internationally, known for its research excellence, educational innovation, and commitments to equity, diversity, inclusion and truth and reconciliation. The Faculty has developed pathways for Indigenous students to seek a social work education, including the creation of a field of study focused on Indigenous Trauma and Resiliency that is delivered in collaboration with partners at the Middelton Moz Institute and the Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres. This Chair will contribute to the Faculty’s mission by providing academic leadership in Indigenous social work and fostering connections to Indigenous worldviews across social work knowledge and practice. This includes enhancing FIFSW’s existing focus on Indigenous community engagement, sovereignty in the practice of social work, decolonizing methodologies, and the integration of Indigenous knowledges and lived experiences into all areas of teaching, research, and practice.

This endowed Chair represents a unique opportunity to contribute to advancing Indigenous social work knowledge, education, research, and community engagement. The Chair will provide leadership in Etuaptmumk - Two-Eyed Seeing, braiding together Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing with social work scholarship and practice, fostering transformative social change for Indigenous communities and beyond. This position offers a unique platform to support curriculum innovation, community-based research, and collaborative partnerships with Indigenous communities and organizations that will transform the Faculty and the social work profession. The Chair will engage in critical scholarship that reflects the lived experiences, cultural values, and aspirations of Indigenous Peoples, bridging academia with community priorities and addressing the systemic challenges faced by Indigenous communities in Canada. The key areas of responsibilities include research excellence and community engagement, educational leadership and curriculum development, and advocacy and leadership.
