> 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.
