History News

The Department of History, the Tri-University Graduate Program, and the University of Guelph community are all deeply saddened by the death of Professor Alan Gordon, who passed away on the morning of July 25, 2022.  Alan was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in February 2021; nevertheless, he continued to be a source of good humour, friendship and insightful advice, all the while continuing to work away at his own research and mentor his graduate students. His passing leaves a huge hole in our hearts.

Dr. Brittany Luby has won the 2022 Ruth & Sylvia Schwartz Children's Picture Book Award for Mii maanda ezhi-gkendmaanh/This is How I Know. 

The book is described as a "lyrical story-poem," and is written in both Anishinaabemowin and English. This is Luby's first time nominated for a Ruth & Sylvia Schwartz Children's Book Award.

Dr. Brittany Luby has won the Network in Canadian History and Environment Prize for Best Book.

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Jaqueline Murray's new edited collection published by the Centre for Renaissance and Reformation Studies: The Male Body and Social Masculinity in Premodern Europe. 

We are delighted to announce that Dr. Alex Souchen will be joining us as a new tenure-track faculty member in the History of Science and the Bachelor of Arts and Science Program, beginning July 1.

The College of Arts Faculty Teaching Excellence Awards recognize innovative instruction and outstanding contributions to teaching and learning at the University of Guelph. Awards for faculty, sessionals, and instructional staff. Our own Dr. Brittany Luby is a 2022 awardee!

Congratulations from all of us!
