Jacques Godbout occupe une place marquante dans la société québécoise et canadienne par une oeuvre multiforme qui mêle habilement les talents nécessaires à la production d'oeuvres littéraires dans les domaines du roman, de la poésie, des essais et une oeuvre cinématographique imposante qui oscille entre la fiction et le documentaire. Engagé socialement, il collabore à la mise en place d'infrastructures sociales importantes : président du Mouvement laïque de langue française, co-fondateur et premier président de I'Union des écrivains québécois, fondateur et directeur de la revue « Liberté ». À I'emploi de I'Office national du film, il a une maîtrise en lettres de l'Université de Montréal et est récipiendaire de nombreux prix, dont le prix David et le prix du Gouverneur général.

Marketa Goetz-Stankiewicz, Professor Emeritus, Department of German, University of British Columbia, has contributed significantly to two areas of literary studies. In a series of articles, she has substantially deepened our understanding of German literature, particularly of Wilhelm Raabe. Her main achievement, however, is the service she rendered, in books, editions, translations, lectures and articles, to our knowledge of recent Czech literature, particularly of the writings of authors suppressed by the communist regime of Czechoslovakia. By keeping in touch with dissident writers and recording their 'samizdat' texts, at great personal risk to herself, she has not only done work of outstanding scholarly significance, but humanitarian work of the highest order.

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.

Lisa Beth Golombek, West Asian Department, Royal Ontario Museum, is Canada's most distinguished historian of Islamic Art. Her two-volume work (written in collaboration with Donald Wilber), "The Timurid Architecture of Iran and Turan", is universally acclaimed as the definitive statement on this important period in Islamic architecture. Eclectic in her interests, she has just sent to press another major book, "Tamerlane's Tableware: Chinoiserie Ceramics of Fifteenth-sixteenth Century Iran and Central Asia". All of her scholarship is enriched and enlivened by her unique determination to study the arts of Islam in such a way as to illuminate all other aspects of Islamic life and culture.

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.

Andrea Gonzalez is a Tier II Canada Research Chair in Family Health and Preventive Interventions.  Adopting a multi-method approach, her research focuses on the developmental consequences of adverse childhood experiences and intergenerational transmission. She has made major contributions in understanding and developing evidence-based approaches that reduce adversity in childhood, reverse their detrimental impact, and enhance the lives of children and families with far-reaching policy implications.

Andrea Gonzalez est titulaire de la Chaire de recherche du Canada de niveau 2 en santé familiale et en interventions préventives. Adoptant une approche fondée sur un ensemble de méthodes, ses recherches portent sur les conséquences développementales des expériences néfastes vécues au cours de l’enfance et de la transmission intergénérationnelle. Elle a apporté une contribution majeure à la compréhension et à l’élaboration d’approches fondées sur des données probantes qui atténuent les difficultés rencontrées pendant l’enfance, effacent leurs effets néfastes et améliorent la vie des enfants et des familles, lesquelles ont de larges implications politiques.

Long Citation Dr. Goodarzi is Canada's leading expert and is world renowned for his contributions to coal petrology, geochemistry and environmental issues as related to natural and anthropogenic impact of large stationary point contaminant sources (coal-fired power plants and smelters). His research involves the study of the depositional setting and the sedimentary processes of coal and hydrocarbons that have determined their compositions (coal seam thickness, carbon richness) , inorganic geochemistry of coal as related to the elements, notably arsenic, cadmium and mercury and sulphur, which are serious environmental pollutants, impact of coal-burning and metal smelting on the environment. Dr. Goodarzi has designed specialized methodologies for differentiating anthropogenic from natural contaminants utilizing natural organic deposits which are now accepted as standard practice in the environmental sector.

Through his major role in inventing and developing the theory of intersection homology, he has helped to revolutionize the way in which we perceive the foundations of cohomology and the nature of singularities. His geometric intuition has stamped that theory with a particularly beautiful quality it might otherwise not have had, and helped to make it one of the most outstanding creations of recent mathematics.

Goulden, Ian - Mathematics and Computer Sciences - University of Waterloo Ian Goulden is a superb algebraic combinatorialist. He has had a profound effect on an area of mathematics that, increasingly, has been seen to deal with structures central to many other parts of Mathematics. Much of his research has now entered into standard use within the discipline itself as well as in applications to the Mathematical Sciences. ------------------ Goulden, Ian - Mathematics and Computer Sciences - University of Waterloo Ian Goulden is a superb algebraic combinatorialist.
