Long Citation Walter Craig is one of the world leaders in nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) and their applications, particularly as they apply to the mathematical study of water waves. He has made deep and lasting contributions to others areas of PDEs which are among the milestones in the field including Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theory for Hamiltonian PDEs through his work on the small divisor problem, and progress on the Navier-Stokes and Boltzmann equations. He is the Director of the Applied and Industrial Mathematics Laboratory at McMaster and has provided mentorship to an enormous number of young mathematicians through his academic leadership.

Frank Cunningham is one of Canada's leading political philosophers. Having first made a name for himself for his work on objectivity in the social sciences, Professor Cunningham next turned to Marxist scholarship, producing widely respected interpretations of classic texts, popularizations of Marxism, and creative adaptations of Marxist theories and ideas to current problems. His most recent work, on democratic theory, is also his best known. Professor Cunningham is currently Canada's most prominent democratic theorist, both at home and abroad. Widely respected in his own country, he has also been one of Canada's most durable intellectual exports to the world.

LONG James Curtis’ work has been significant to defining an indigenous Canadian sociology while also inspiring future generations of scholars. His research spans an array of topics, including religion, sport, social inequality, gender, aging, voluntary association activity, social values and voting, while at the same time being broadly centered on the study of civil society. Among his many contributions is work over several decades comparing Canadian-American values which has served to challenge the conventional thesis of Canadians being more “elitist” and less “achievement oriented” than Americans. This has been the basis for a central debate within sociology and political science. Professor Curtis is author of numerous texts helping to define sociology to students in Canadian terms. SHORT James Curtis’ work has defined an indigenous Canadian sociology for both scholars and students. His study of our civil society treats religion, sport, social inequality, gender, aging, voluntary activity, social values and voting. Comparing Canadian-American values, he has challenged the conventional thesis of Canadians being more “elitist” and less “achievement oriented” than Americans sparking a central debate within sociology and political science.
