Irene Gammel, Canada Research Chair in Modern Literature and Culture at Ryerson University, has made major, internationally acknowledged contributions to the scholarship of modernism and to the study of Lucy Maud Montgomery. Her biography of Dada artist Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, along with a bilingual edition of her poetry, has established Gammel as one of the foremost researchers of the avant-garde and its appropriation by mainstream cultures. An exhibition curated for the centenary of Anne of Green Gables, in addition to numerous publications on its author, have helped to consolidate Lucy Maud Montgomery studies as an academic field.
