Biography

Dr. Binfet is a professor with the Okanagan School of Education. He has two distinct research streams: 1) the investigation of kindness in school including how children, adolescents, and teachers understand what it means to be kind within a school context; and 2) the effects of canine-assisted interventions on undergraduate student well-being. Dr. Binfet is the director of UBC’s Building Academic Retention through K9’s (B.A.R.K.) program. Founded in 2012, B.A.R.K. routinely sees 60+ therapy dogs brought to campus to support students’ stress reduction and overall well-being. In 2021 he became the director of the Centre for Mindful Engagement.

In 2024, he received the Outstanding Instructor Award in recognition of his dedication to having positive impacts on students’ experiences.

Dr. Binfet is currently accepting graduate students.
