Huge congratulations this morning to our colleague Sarah Carter, the recipient of the 2020 Killam Prize in the Humanities! Sarah is the first winner from the U of A of the Humanities Prize.
The Killam Prize is awarded annually to Canadian scholars who have made a substantial and distinguished contribution, over a significant period, to scholarly research in Canada.
Sarah's "ground-breaking scholarship has reconceptualized the history of the Canadian West by placing women, settler and Indigenous, front and centre, within a broad context of nation and empire-building. Her extensive research and writings have tranformed our understanding of Western Canadian colonial, Indigenous, social, and women's history."
