Philip Girard
RSC Fellow, Academy of Social Sciences
Affiliation: York University
Induction Year: 2021
Philip Girard’s prize-winning work on the legal history of Canada has shaped the field and redefined its agenda for the twenty-first century. Tracing the roots of today’s legal pluralism to the historic encounter of two European empires with Indigenous peoples in northern North America, he stresses how this pluralism allowed Quebec civil law to flourish on a continent of common law and now creates space for the renaissance of Indigenous law.
Les études primées de Philip Girard sur l’histoire du droit au Canada ont façonné ce champ disciplinaire et l’ont redéfini pour le 21e siècle. En faisant remonter les origines du pluralisme juridique d’aujourd’hui à la rencontre historique de deux empires européens avec les habitants Autochtones du nord de l’Amérique du Nord, il démontre comment cela a permis au droit civil québécois de s’épanouir sur un continent où règne la common law, et a contribué à la renaissance actuelle du droit Autochtone.

His prizewinning 1988 book, "The Narrators of Barbarian History (A.D. 418-584), was described by its first reviewer as 'arguably one of the most important books written about the early Middle Ages since World War II.' His work has brought a new kind of intelligibility to one of the most obscure and most fundamental transitions in European history.
Dr. Phil Gold
RSC Fellow, Academy of Sciences
Affiliation: McGill University
Keywords: Clinical research, cancer markers, immunology
In 1965 PHIL GOLD, professor of physiology, McGill University and the Montreal General Hospital, and his colleagues described the research, brilliantly conceived and resourcefully executed, that led to their discovery of CEA, the "carcinoembryonic antigen" of the human bowel. CEA is a cell-surface glyco-protein that is present in embryonic gut, but only in traces during later life unless the gut becomes cancerous. The discovery has had a major influence on cancer research during the last decade. Following it up, Gold himself was the leader in devising a blood test for detecting the recurrence of bowel cancer after primary surgery; in identifying other proteins that are common to foetal tissues and tumours; and in establishing biochemical kinship between these proteins and the antigens involved in rejection of tissue grafts.

Dr. David Goltzman
RSC Fellow, Academy of Sciences
Affiliation: McGill University
Keywords: parathyroid Hormone, calcium metabolism, bones, vitamin D
Dr. Goltzman is internationally recognized for his work on calcium and bone metabolism. He initiated structure - function studies of parathyroid hormone (PTH), and identified its cellular target in skeletal tissue. He introduced the concept of calcitonin as a neuropeptide and delineated CNS receptors for it and related peptides. He pioneered methods leading to the discovery of PTH-related peptide (PTHRP), isolated the genes encoding PTHRP, and elucidated their regulation. His work was key in establishing PTHRP as a widespread mediator of the hypercalcemia of malignancy and in demonstrating its essential role for normal skeletal development. He has thus provided an understanding of important aspects of calcium metabolism in both health and disease.
Mr. Antonio Gomez-Moriana
RSC Fellow, Academy of the Arts and Humanities
Affiliation: Simon Fraser University
Antonio Gómez-Moriana, Professor of Comparative Literature at the Université de Montréal, is an internationally respected scholar in the fields of Spanish and Latin American Literatures, genre theory, sociocritism and theory of discourse. His books include a study of the Spanish writer Unamuno, a coauthored study of Lazarillo de Tormes, and a study of Lope de Vega. He made a major impact on literary theory with his "La subversion du discours rituel" (1985) and several related articles in which he formulated a coherent theoretical approach and a highly efficient methodology which allows him to analyse the tension that exists between a literary text and the many concomitant and conflicting discourses of a non-literary nature that affect its production and reading (historical, legal, philosophical, or even merely bureaucratic discourses).
On the basis of this work, Dr. Gómez-Moriana became co-founder and co-director of the important series « L'univers des discours » currently published by Les Editions Balzac, with over 50 volumes to date devoted to the theory of genre and analysis of discourse. He was also a moving force behind a group of scholars at the Université de Montréal working on « Marginalisation et marginalité dans les pratiques discursives » . With Marc Angenot, MSRC, and Régine Robin, MSRC, he was co-founder of the Interuniversity Research Center CIADEST (Centre Interuniversitaire d'analyse des discours et sociocritique des textes) of Montréal. His most recent book is "Discourse Analysis as Sociocriticism. The Spanish Golden Age" (University of Minnesota P, 1993).
He was 'directeur fondateur' of the Department of Comparative Literature at the Université de Montréal, and is presently professor of interdisciplinary studies at Simon Fraser University.
