Biography

Jeanette Burman is a dedicated research and academic support administrator at the University of Calgary’s Haskayne School of Business, where she has served since 2014. In her current role, she provides long-standing support to Distinguished Research Professor Dr. Barrie R. Nault, contributing to high-impact research projects, grant applications, and scholarly publications focused on the econometrics of Information Technology in organizational operations and business management.

Jeanette recently worked with the Haskayne Senior Associate Dean of Research and Faculty team as a Limited Term Research Administrator for 18 months, where she managed publication tracking systems and analysis, supported accreditation processes, and coordinated strategic research initiatives, communications, and international academic workshops. She also initiated the HSB Research Insider newsletter, promoting research culture and collaboration across the faculty, alongside her work on the iRC newsletter for the Informatics Research Centre. Prior to joining HSB, she was Administrative Assistant to the Head of the Department of Communication and Culture in the Faculty of Arts (2010-2014), assisting Dr. David B. Mitchell and Dr. Barbara Schneider, now both deceased. Outside the University of Calgary, Jeanette occasionally provides heritage and administrative consulting services within Calgary’s architecture and design community.

Her academic background includes a Master of Environmental Design, a BA in Art History, and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Heritage Conservation—all from the University of Calgary, with undergraduate studies also completed at Mount Allison University. Jeanette’s graduate thesis consists of a phenomenological investigation of campus radio communities and places in Canada. And her research interests span digital infrastructure, sustainability, and cultural landscapes, with presentations and publications featured at national and international conferences. Her past collaborations include co-authored conference proceedings with Dr. Brian Robert Sinclair and Dr. Sasha Tsenkova. She also regularly delivers guest lectures to students in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape during the "Music, Space and Place" block week seminar, taught by Dr. David Monteyne.

Jeanette is an active volunteer in both academic and community organizations. Recent contributions include serving on conference committees for the Society for the Study of Architecture in Canada (2023) and the National Campus/Community Radio Association CJSW Planning Committee (2023), as well as participating in the CJSW Campus Community Radio Programming Committee (2022) and as a CJSW Radio Programmer (2008-2020). She currently volunteers on the planning committee and as website coordinator for her local community garden.
