LONG
Jill Vickers's scholarship has stretched the boundaries of disciplinary inquiry and mapped new research fields in Political Science, Women's Studies and Canadian Studies. Her work on women and politics laid the groundwork for the transformation of Political Science, through the incorporation of a feminist perspective, as the decision of the Canadian Political Science Association to name an annual prize in gender and politics after her attests. Her writings on interdisciplinarity have influenced the development of Canadian Studies, and her studies on nationalism, federalism and public policy have integrated considerations of gender and race into these fields.
