The Canada Prizes: Unwritten histories, unfolding futures
Join us in celebrating the Canada Prizes, an occasion to honour five exceptional authors whose winning works enrich our understanding of community, storytelling, and resistance. These works offer necessary perspectives on life in Canada, past and present; bringing to the forefront voices and experiences too often pushed to the margins. Together, the authors will illuminate how the humanities and social sciences both shape and are shaped by everyday pursuits of justice, recognition, and belonging.
The ceremony will celebrate the transformative power of research and its role in imagining a more inclusive and responsive future for all. We invite you to bear witness to these vital contributions and to reflect on the enduring value of knowledge in public life.
Awarded by the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences, the Canada Prizes recognize the country’s five most inspiring, impactful, and transformative scholarly books in the humanities and social sciences annually. The Canada Prizes are made possible thanks to the support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).
