This year's cohort includes Dean Vivek Venkatesh, receiving the James McGill Professor Award and Associate Professor Angelica Galante (Director, Pluriligual Lab) who is named as a William Dawson Scholar. 

Excerpt from The McGill Reporter:

James McGill Professor awardees include Integrated Studies in Education Professor Vivek Venkatesh, who was appointed Dean of the Faculty of Education in June. An internationally renowned scholar, his research focuses on building community resilience and tolerance against hate through public and collaborative approaches, including films and documentaries, musical soundtracks and multimedia productions. Among his most prominent pedagogical initiatives is “Project SOMEONE” (Social Media Education Everyday), an online multi-media platform devoted to the reduction of hate and violent extremism. He has held the UNESCO Co-Chair in Prevention of Radicalisation and Violent Extremism since 2017.
