Judy Fudge's interdisciplinary approach to labour law blends rigourous legal analysis with a sophisticated attention to social context. Her groundbreaking work on Canadian labour law history, the nexus between immigration and labour law, precarious work, gender and labour law, and labour law as human rights has revitalized the field of labour law worldwide by providing an innovative approach to the regulation of work in contemporary labour markets.
Judy Fudge applique au droit du travail une approche innovante et interdisciplinaire qui combine à la fois une analyse juridique rigoureuse et une attention particulière au contexte social. Ses travaux originaux sur l’histoire du droit du travail au Canada, sur les liens entre l’immigration et le droit du travail, sur les emplois précaires, sur l’égalité des sexes en rapport avec le droit du travail et sur les droits des travailleurs considérés à la lumière des droits de l’homme ont donné une nouvelle impulsion à l’étude du droit du travail à l’échelle mondiale et fait progresser la réglementation du travail.
Dr. Colin Fyfe

Colin Alan Fyfe is recognized world-wide as a leading research worker in the field of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. He developed high resolution NMR techniques for the study of charge-transfer complexes, and reactive intermediates. More recently, he has published important original work in solid state NMR, using cross-polarization and magic angle spinning techniques. He is clearly a world leader in that field. The outstanding contributions he has made using that technique to study the structure of polymers, reactive intermediates, surfaces and surface immobilization techniques, glasses, cellulostics, and zeolite catalysts are elegant and definitive.
Dr. Dov Gabbay
Affiliation: King's College
Keywords: Logic, proof theory, philosophy of language
[contact]
Dov Gabbay is a leading researcher into logic, computer science, and practical reasoning of types crucial to human and to artificial intelligence. He has published numerous articles and books, besides editing collections, multi-volume handbooks and journals. He has founded entire research fields in non- classical logic, and explained fundamental philosophical concepts in terms of their practical uses. As he has shown, informal principles and vague or conflicting descriptions are often the key to learning and to natural uses of language. Formal principles can themselves throw light on this. Perhaps his main achievement is demonstrating that we must develop the right kind of philosophy if we wish to design intelligent machines.

Jean-Marie GAGNON fait partie de l'équipe qui a construit les études modernes en sciences administratives au Québec : c'est avec sa génération qu'on est passé des études commerciales aux sciences administratives.
Comptable, expert en gestion financiaire, vice-doyen et directeur du programme de doctorat en sciences administratives à Laval, il va trouver le temps de publier de nombreux travaux tant dans des revues professionnelles que dans les meilleures revues scientifiques dans son domaine. Il va aussi produire du matériel pédagogique en français dans un secteur où le manque était flagrant, mais ces travaux pédagogiques vont toujours bien au-delà des normes de qualité qui ont cours dans ce genre.
Au moment de créer la « Revue canadienne de sciences administratives » en 1984 , on a naturellement demandé à Jean-Marie Gagnon de se joindre à l'équipe de direction au niveau national. Ses travaux analytiques plus récents, qui devaient aboutir à une monographie importante pour le Conseil économique du Canada sur le financement des entreprises au Canada, montrent que comme les meilleurs vins, Jean-Marie Gagnon semble s'améliorer avec l'âge.

Dr. M. Clelia Ganoza
Affiliation: University of Toronto
[contact]
Dr. Ganoza's major contribution has been to our understanding of the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of protein synthesis. She has developed 'in vitro' translation systems, technology for purification of enzymes and co-factors of protein synthesis which have permitted her to do the following: (i) identify peptidyl-transfer RNA molecules as intermediates of protein synthesis; (ii) identify, purify and partially characterize the structure and function of at least six enzyme/proteins which participate in binding of m-RNA and the amino acyl-t-RNA's to ribosomes, initiation of translation, elongation, termination and release of fully-formed proteins; (iii) identify the two separate pathways of synthesis of membrane-bound proteins and soluble proteins. Having first evolved the concept of codon signals for guiding protein synthesis, Ganoza has now identified initiation codons in prokaryotes. She has further established the major UAA sequence, and the preferred contigous UAUG sequence, adjoining 5'-pyrimidine nucleotide and polypurine nucleotide tract and segments complementary to the formyl-methionine-t-RNA D-and T-loops, all of which provide secondary and tertiary folding constraints, essential to initiation of protein synthesis.

In a professional career of little more than seven years, Christopher Garrett has already made major contributions towards the solution of long-standing problems in theoretical oceanography. For example, his work on tides has completely revolutionized ideas about the interpretation of global tide records and has successfully challenged traditional ideas on the behaviour of the Bay of Fundy tide if modified by man. His most influential work of recent years has concerned the nature of internal waves in the ocean. Here he has brought order to a difficult and formerly confused subject and almost all recent advances, both observational and theoretical have been based upon his work.
