Serge Courville, professeur à l'Université Laval, est un spécialiste de la géographie historique. Auteur ou co-auteur de près d'une dizaine de livres et d'une quarantaine d'articles et notes de recherche, il a apporté une contribution majeure tant à la connaissance du XIXe siècle québécois qu'à la pratique de la géographie historique et à celle de la multidisciplinarité. Il a véritablement introduit l'espace dans l'historiographie en soumettant l'étude de la socio-économie bas-canadienne aux paramètres de l'analyse spatiale; en particulier par son utilisation de la cartographie et celle du concept de territorialité dont il faut souligner la fécondité. Il a fait progresser la multidisciplinarité en amenant historiens, géographes, sociologues et anthropologues à travailler ensemble à partir d'approches novatrices. Par ailleurs, l'historiographie lui est redevable d'un réexamen du développement rural qui a stimulé l'étude du monde agricole et urbain; soulignons son apport substantiel à la connaissance de l'urbanisation d'avant 1850 par ses travaux sur la croissance villageoise. Sur un autre plan, son souci de développer des outils de recherche adéquats l'a amené à en préparer quelques-uns qui rendent d'inestimables services aux chercheurs. Son travail auprès des organismes subventionnaires et des associations témoigne de son implication dans le milieu. Ses travaux lui ont déjà mérité un certain nombre de prix : Alf Heggoy, Jean-Charles-Falardeau, Guy-Frégault et Lionel-Groulx. Il est directeur-fondateur du Laboratoire de géographie historique de l'Université Laval; il a aussi été co-directeur du Centre interuniversitaire d'études québécoises.

A professor of Religious Studies, Harold Coward's research has carried him widely into psychology, philosophy, and East Indian religious thought. The particular significance of his scholarship lies in the relations he has made in the historiography of world religions between eastern and western thought through his knowledge of both Jung and Derrida and is seminal in its understanding of the profound analysis that may be made in the area of the sacred. His work as an administrator of both a university and national level has been outstanding. Dr. Coward is among the foremost North American scholars of religious studies.

Long Citation (for publication and press release) Dr. Ann Marie Craig is internationally recognized for her pioneering contributions to the field of molecular and cellular neurobiology. She has made some of the most important advances in neuroscience in the past decade, and her fundamental contributions have established our present view of the structure of central nervous system synapses, the scaffolding and cell surface proteins responsible for receptor localization, and the dynamic regulation of receptor trafficking regulated by protein kinases. Her work has important significance for the development of new and effective therapies for numerous neurological and psychiatric diseases, including stroke, Alzheimer's, autism, schizophrenia, anxiety, and depression.

Cruikshank, Julie - Anthropology - University of British Columbia Julie Cruikshank is an international leader in subarctic anthropology, particularly the living traditions of oral literature and storytelling in the Yukon Territory. Her publications trace the interplay between indigenous knowledge and narrative forms with experiences of landscape, colonialism, societal change and especially how differing cultural groups ‘‘know’’ the natural world and their own agency. ------------------ Cruikshank, Julie - Anthropology - University of British Columbia Julie Cruikshank is an international leader in the anthropology of sub-Arctic peoples, particularly the living traditions of oral literature and storytelling. Her ethnographic experience is rooted in the Yukon where she lived for many years recording life and traditional stories of Athapaskan and Tlingit elders, particularly women. Her acclaimed publications sensitively trace the interplay between indigenous knowledge and narrative forms and experiences of landscapes, colonialism, and societal change. Her work has recovered aspects of indigenous history neglected in standard texts. She does so by raising fundamental questions of how differing cultural groups “know” the natural world and their own agency.

Miklós Csörgö, Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at Carleton University has made outstanding contributions of fundamental importance to probability theory and mathematical statistics, and in particular has played a major role in the development of strong approximation methods and invariance principles. Over the past several years he has applied these techniques to weighted quantile and empirical processes, empirical reliability and concentration processes, and has obtained deep results on the increment structure and local time of random walks and the Wiener process. He has published three books and over 100 papers and has been awarded a Killam Senior Research Scholarship.

Long Citation Dr. Joseph Culotti has done pioneering work in the field of axon guidance for decades, leading to our present understanding of the molecular cues that control axon pathfinding. In an elegant series of experiments, Dr. Culotti has identified and molecularly characterized many genes in the nematode worm C. elegans that regulate the behaviour of axon growth cones. One of these genes, unc-6, encodes a secreted axon guidance cue protein, while unc-5 and unc-40 encode transmembrane receptors that mediate either repulsive or attractive responses to unc-6. This work has provided fundamental insight into the way in which an animal nervous system is wired up. Furthermore, it transpires that these same genes are involved in other types of cell movement; Dr. Culotti has therefore revealed a central process for directing cell migration. The genes originally identified by Dr. Culotti in C. elegans are conserved in evolution and apparently play a key role in formation of the mammalian brain and spinal cord. Dr. Culotti's findings therefore, have important implications for understanding nerve regeneration. Dr. Culotti's present work is focused on understanding the signaling pathways that control the cytoskeleton in the axon growth cone. Dr. Culotti has an extensive history of scientific achievement, starting with his earliest work in the 1970s that led to the first identification of the genes that regulate the eukaryotic cell cycle. He is among Canada's foremost geneticists and developmental neurobiologists.
