Grace Anderson Research Fellowship for Women Scholars Recipients
In 1990 the Laurier Senate created this award in honour of Dr. Grace Anderson, Professor of Sociology and Anthropology, who devoted her life to research and the advancement of knowledge in the humanities and social sciences. In particular, Dr. Anderson was known for her research on Portuguese and Spanish immigrant communities, ethnic history, and Protestant/Baptist women in church vocations.
The purpose of the award is to recognize and reward the achievements of women scholars and artists at WLU, and to facilitate and encourage an increase in their research and scholarly output in terms of conference presentations and publications.
