Christie McDonald has made major contributions to the theory and practice of both critical theory and interdisciplinary studies within the humanities. Based in the literary domain (as a respected expert in eighteenth-century French literature), she has consistently related her textual analyses to larger theoretical concerns, particularly in the fields of philosophy and music. Her recent work brings together anthropology, art history, political science, and the 'everyday' in a complex and important theorizing of the notion of 'change' in our culture.

Long Citation Ronald McElhaney is an international leader in research on the roles of lipids in biological membranes. He demonstrated that physical properties of lipids determine the permeability of membranes and modulate the activity of proteins. His work on the phase behaviour of lipids has direct relevance to the role of lipid rafts in cell signalling. His research has provided key insights into the mechanisms by which antimicrobial peptides disrupt bacterial membranes providing the basis for design of effective antimicrobial agents. He is a Fellow of the Biophysical Society (USA) and received the prestigious Avanti Award in Lipids from the Biophysical Society.

LONG Dr. Grant McFadden is one of the most prominent figures in his field of virology, a view shared not only by many colleagues in Canada but by eminent virologists worldwide. His numerous scientific contributions and his many novel insights, shared so generously with colleagues, have had a huge impact on fundamental understanding of the molecular biology of DNA viruses and on virus and host-cell interactions. The four areas of his most significant contributions might be summarized as: (1) The discovery and analysis of multiple classes of virus-encoded virokines and viroceptors, (2) The discovery of inhibitors of apoptosis encoded by poxviruses, (3) The analysis of poxvirus molecular biology, and (4) The discovery of novel anti-immune mechanisms of poxviruses. His work and the numerous accolades it has generated have focused an international spotlight on Canadian biological science and, more generally, on Canadian research accomplishments. SHORT Grant McFadden is one of the most prominent figures in the field of virology. His scientific contributions include the discovery and analysis of multiple classes of virus-encoded virokines and viroceptors, the discovery of inhibitors of apoptosis encoded by poxviruses and the discovery of a novel anti-immune mechanisms of poxviruses.

Robert McGhee of the Canadian Museum of Civilization, is Canada's leading authority on arctic prehistory. His research and publications on Palaeo-Eskimo and recent Inuit prehistory and early history, as well as the peregrinations of Norsemen in Canada, have won acclaim from professional archaeologists and the general public alike. He has carried out fieldwork from the MacKenzie Delta to the High Arctic to southern Labrador. His research has been reported in many books and monographs as well as papers and articles. They reflect the scholarship and imaginative approach of a researcher and writer whose distinguished international reputation is richly deserved.

Sean J. McGrath’s works in the philosophy of religion and continental philosophy include internationally recognized contributions to Heidegger studies, German Idealism, and the history of ideas. His writings probe the close relationship between Christian theology and modern secularism, demonstrating that, far from being opposed to Christianity, secularism depends upon it.

Les travaux de Sean J. McGrath en philosophie de la religion et en philosophie continentale incluent des contributions reconnues dans le monde entier aux études sur Heidegger, l’idéalisme allemand et l’histoire des idées. Ses écrits analysent la relation étroite entre la théologie chrétienne et le laïcisme moderne, en démontrant que la laïcité ne fait pas qu’émerger de la chrétienté, mais qu’elle maintient également avec elle une relation essentielle.

Joanna McGrenere examines personalized interfaces for software that capture individual differences in needs and preferences for specific users, including at-risk and vulnerable groups such as those with cognitive or motor impairments, older users, and children, using qualitative and quantitative observational methods grounded in theoretical models of human performance and rapid prototyping iterative design.

Joanna McGrenere fait porter ses recherches sur les interfaces personnalisées des logiciels qui captent les différences individuelles concernant les besoins et les préférences de groupes données d’utilisateurs comme les groupes à risque et les groupes vulnérables tels que ceux qui sont atteints de déficiences cognitives ou motrices, les personnes âgées et les enfants. La chercheuse utilise des méthodes d’observation qualitatives et quantitatives basées sur des modèles théoriques de performance humaine et de prototypage rapide de conception itérative.

Roderick McInnes is an internationally recognized human geneticist and a world leader in the fields of eye development and inherited eye disease. His discoveries include identification of major regulatory genes of eye development, association of these genes with inherited blindness, and the recognition that degenerating neurons often display exponential death kinetics. He is the inaugural Scientific Director of the Institute of Genetics of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

McKAY, Ian – Department of History, Queen’s University Ian McKay, a highly respected scholar, a brilliant analyst and an award-winning author, is credited with changing not just conventional views of Canadian history, but the basic concepts of the field itself. His investigations into Canadian working-class culture, politics and Canadian historical theory have uncovered broader historical patterns and political frameworks that continue to inform the work of historians and social scientists, both in Canada and abroad, today.

McKAY, Ian – Department of History, Queen’s University Ian McKay, chercheur très respecté, brillant analyste et auteur récipiendaire de nombreux prix, est reconnu comme ayant changé non seulement les points de vues classiques sur l’histoire du Canada, mais aussi les concepts de base de ce domaine d’étude lui-même. Ses recherches sur la culture de la classe ouvrière canadienne, sur la politique et la théorie historique canadiennes ont permis de découvrir des tendances historiques et des cadres politiques plus vastes qui continuent encore aujourd’hui à guider le travail des historiens et des chercheurs en sciences sociales, aussi bien au Canada qu’à l’étranger.

Katherine McKittrick is Associate Professor at Queen’s University. Her highly influential interdisciplinary scholarship links theories of race, space, and texts in creative ways. From her first book, Demonic Grounds—and since then—McKittrick has been making phenomenal impact in the areas of Geography, Sociology, History, Literature, Cultural Studies, Black Studies and Gender Studies. In fact, her work is fundamental to the development of black geographies as a sub-discipline.
