Yesterday we celebrated the official presentation to Keren Rice of the prestigious 2012 Molson Prize in the humanities and social sciences. The $50,000 prize recognizes Keren's lifetime of outstanding work on Aboriginal languages and communities, and her continuing contribution to cultural and intellectual life in Canada and beyond.
In a reception at the Faculty Club, members of our department gathered with members of the Aboriginal Studies Program, as well as family and friends of Keren's. There were speeches from Dean of Arts & Science Meric Gertler , as well as Robert Baker (Vice-Dean Research) and representatives from SSHRC and the Canada Council who had traveled from Ottawa for the occasion.
Congratulations, Keren!
