 From the Canada Council Press Release---

Ottawa, March 27, 2006 – Five prominent researchers from the National
Research Council of Canada, Université de Montréal, University of
British Columbia, McGill University and Dalhousie University will be
honoured with the 2006 Killam Prizes, Canada’s most distinguished
annual awards for outstanding career achievements in engineering,
natural sciences, humanities, social sciences and health sciences.

The $100,000 awards to Paul Corkum, Jean-Marie Dufour, B. Brett Finlay,
Roderick Guthrie and Susan Sherwin were announced today by the Canada
Council for the Arts, which administers the Killam program.


This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Killam Prizes, which were
inaugurated in 1981 and financed through funds donated to the Canada
Council by Mrs. Dorothy J. Killam in memory of her husband, Izaak
Walton Killam. The Prizes were created to honour eminent Canadian
scholars and scientists actively engaged in research, whether in
industry, government agencies or universities. When the Canada Council
was created in 1957, its mandate was to support both the arts and
scholarly research; although this changed with the creation of separate
research councils, the Canada Council retained responsibility for the
Killam program. The Killam Fund at the Canada Council was valued at
approximately $58 million as of March 31, 2005. The Killam Trusts,
which fund scholarship and research at four Canadian universities, a
research institute and the Canada Council, are valued at approximately
$400 million.
Susan Sherwin – Humanities (Dalhousie University)

Susan Sherwin is an internationally acclaimed scholar in the field of
feminist bioethics – that is, the relationship between gender and
ethics in medicine and health care. She is currently a Professor of
Philosophy and Gender and Women’s Studies at Dalhousie University and
also teaches in the university’s Department of Bioethics. Although Dr.
Sherwin’s graduate training began in the logic and philosophy of
mathematics, it quickly evolved into health care ethics and feminist
philosophy. In the mid-1980s, she combined these two areas of research
to consider the implications of a distinctively feminist approach to
bioethics. In 1992, she published No Longer Patient: Feminist Ethics
and Health Care, the first book to deal specifically with feminism and
health care ethics. She was coordinator of the Feminist Health Care
Ethics Research Network and has served on various advisory boards at
both the national and international levels, including Heath Canada’s
Advisory Committee on Reproductive and Genetic Technologies. In 2000,
Dr. Sherwin was awarded the Sarah Shorten Award for her contributions
to the status of women in Canadian universities and in 2004 was named
Distinguished Women Philosopher of the Year by the Society for Women in
Philosophy in the United States. Dr. Sherwin holds a BA from York
University and a PhD from Stanford University.
