Wendy Steiner’s pathbreaking studies of word-and-image relations have influenced thinkers and artists worldwide. From the technicalities of verbal and visual semiotics to the pyrotechnics of the public intellectual, she has argued for freedom of expression and the centrality of beauty in human experience. Her concepts of the model and “beauty as interaction” advance a liberal, feminist aesthetics that also inspires her creative work as an opera librettist and installation artist.

Les études révolutionnaires de Wendy Steiner au sujet du “texte et image” ont influencé des savants et des artistes partout dans le monde. De la technicité de la sémiologie verbale et visuelle jusqu’à la pyrotechnie de l’intellectual public, son écriit a plaidé la liberté d’expression et le rôle central de la beauté dans la vie humaine. Ses concepts du modèle et de “la beauté comme interaction” avancent une esthétique libérale et féministe, qui aussi s’expresse dans ses livrets d’opéra et son art d’installation.

Doug Stephan, author of over 335 scientific articles, has interests include the synthesis of transition metal and main group compounds and their application in catalysis. Stephan’s group has developed commercial catalysts for the polymerization, hydrogenation and metathesis. In recent years Stephan’s group has uncovered the concept of “frustrated Lewis pairs”, a dramatic paradigm-shifting breakthrough permitting the use of simple main group compounds in metal-free hydrogenation and hydroamination catalysis.

Doug Stephan est l’auteur de plus de 335 articles scientifiques. Parmi ses sujets d’intérêt, figurent la synthèse des métaux de transition et des composés primaires, ainsi que leur application en catalyse. Son groupe de recherche a mis au point des catalyseurs commerciaux utilisés dans la polymérisation, l’hydrogénation et la métathèse. Au cours des dernières années, le groupe de chercheurs a élaboré le concept de « paires de Lewis frustrées », une percée majeure permettant l’utilisation de composés primaires simples dans des procédés d’hydrogénation ne produisant pas de métaux toxiques et dans l’hydro-amination par catalyse.

Long Citation Peter Stetson has developed computer software to facilitate the measurement of the brightness and colours of individual stars in stellar clusters and other areas of the sky in which the recorded images of the stars are crowded together, or overlapping. His software is much in demand and is used by astronomers all over the world. Stetson himself has applied it to the study of the ages of stars in our own Galaxy and in other galaxies and to the determination of the age of the universe from its expansion rate. On all these topics he is considered a leading authority.

Cameron Stewart's imaginative work in analytic number theory has produced many original and striking results. His early work on applications of transcendence theory to divisors of arithmetical sequences initiated a new field of study. His results in that area have never been surpassed. His introduction of transcendence theory into the study of heights of algebraic numbers led to the subsequent important generalization of these results to elliptic curves and abelian varieties. His recent work has combined methods from analytic and combinatorial number theory to solve a number of well known difficult problems.

Pamela STEWART, Professor of Italian and Chairman of the Department at McGill University, has gained international recognition through her numerous studies of Italian literature in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Her wide-ranging work on Boccaccio, her penetrating essays on the development of the novel and of other forms of art, in particular of the theatre, as well as her reflections on aesthetics and on the relation between painting and poetry, have won the praise of literary critics in Europe and America. Her book on Gentillet, remarkable for the originality of its scholarship and the definitive character of its conclusions, has been hailed as a major contribution to the study of the reception of, and polemic against, Machiavelli, and noted for the light it sheds on cultural relations between Italy and France.

Professor Stewart is a global leading expert on precipitation processes within winter storms. He plays leading roles internationally, including the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment and now its new initiative on climate extremes. ------------------ STEWART, Ronald E. –Department of Environment and Geography, University of Manitoba Professor Stewart is a global leading expert on precipitation processes within winter storms. As the scientific leader for the Canadian Atlantic Storms Program, the Beaufort and Arctic Storms Experiment and the Mackenzie GEWEX Study and now co-lead for the Storm Studies in the Arctic experiment and the Drought Research Initiative, he has led the way in Canadian research with extensive publications, special issues of journals and books, and supervision of graduate students. He has been President of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society. He plays leading roles internationally, including the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment and now its new initiative on climate extremes.

Long Citation (for publication and press release) Dr. Miriam Stewart's innovative research explicates the interplay between social support and factors influencing vulnerability (e.g. socioeconomic status, ethnicity, gender) and well being. She is a world leader in designing social interventions and author of 5 books, 31 chapters, and 187 articles/papers. Her research programs/centres have attracted over 30 million dollars. She launched three successful centres of excellence. An international panel lauded her subsequent outstanding leadership as inaugural Scientific Director of the first national research institute on gender. She leads influential initiatives focused on women in science, gender and globalization, violence and gender, and equity for vulnerable populations which exert national and international impact.

Mary Lynn Stewart, Professor Emeritus, Departments of History and Women's Studies, Simon Fraser University, is one of the foremost historians of the Western European welfare state whose work analyzes the lives of working- class men and women in nineteenth and twentieth century France. Her early work significantly increased understanding of political and social activism in the French provinces before and during the Second Republic. Her subsequent work focused on protective legislation. Her pioneering challenge of the prevailing view that these laws protected women and led to universal legislation has contributed to the integration of gender issues and women's work with more traditional concerns of economics and politics in the study of welfare legislation. Her two most recent books examined the bio-politics and education of French girls and women about their bodies in the Third Republic and the marketing of haute couture to French women in the Interwar years. She is currently preparing a book tentatively entitled Gender, Generation and Journalism in Interwar France.
