Special Announcement – Andrea Eidinger Wins the Marion Dewar Prize

Stephanie here, to bring you this exciting news! Our fearless leader here at UH has won the Marion Dewar Prize in Canadian Women’s History!

The Marion Dewar Prize is awarded by the National Capital Committee on the Scholarship, Preservation, and Dissemination of Women’s History, which is composed of a number of feminist historians from across the country, and nominations for the prize are drawn from members of the committee.

We are so proud of Andrea, and her continued commitment to great historical scholarship, despite the hardships she has faced in this academic market. The National Capital Committee also acknowledges her hard work, not only by awarding her this prize, which is so rarely awarded to non-tenure academics, but by stating in the letter accompanying the award, “We were impressed by your keen commitment to developing new ways to be a historian in this difficult academic market. The Committee appreciated the work you have done to single-handedly creating lively and informative blogs that serve as an introduction to the broad field of Canadian history.”

So join me in congratulating my friend, Andrea, in her amazing accomplishment, which we also happen to be announcing on her birthday! (so throw a “happy birthday” in there too!)

And join us tomorrow for our regularly scheduled blog post!
