Dr. Jeremy Carpendale awarded 2025 FASS Dean's Medal for excellence in research, teaching, and service

October 16, 2025

Congratulations to Dr. Jeremy Carpendale on receiving the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) Dean's Medal in recognition of academic excellence in research, teaching, and service.

Established in 1999, the FASS Dean's Medals are awarded annually to continuing faculty members who have demonstrated significant contributions to their field of research and service to their department while in position at FASS.

Jeremy Carpendale’s work focuses on the development of children’s communication skills and their understanding of mind, emotions, and morality. That is, is on What makes us human (2021). By taking a relational approach, according to which thinking emerges within one’s interpersonal interactions, he is engaged in explicating the process through which babies’ interaction with their caregivers leads to the emergence of communication, language, thinking, self, mind, and morality. He is internationally recognized for his contributions to theorizing in this area. He completed his undergraduate and master's degrees at ´óÏó´«Ã½ and his PhD in developmental psychology from the University of British Columbia. Although currently on a phased retirement, he continues to be actively engaged in scholarly research and writing, including a forthcoming co-authored textbook and a sole-authored book.
