The majority of her three year term will be spent researching and writing a historical novel that spans the 1950s-1990s. Loosely based on the lives of Jim Jones’s three Korean adopted children, the novel will explore themes of racial violence within progressive, liberal, anti-racist contexts. Dr. Wills will work with BIPoC student writers, undertaking archival research as well as literary research throughout the course of this project.
彼得·J·米勒博士，经典
授予：2019年5月
彼得·J·米勒（Peter J. Miller）博士是经典系的助理教授。他的研究重点是古希腊诗歌中性别，社会经济和种族身份的代表，他发表了对古希腊戏剧和诗歌的研究，这些研究是由当代批判理论驱动的。他还发表了有关古希腊和罗马体育和奇观，在古代背景下的文化重要性以及对19世纪后期出现的当代全球运动的影响。
Dr. Miller’s current focus is a SSHRC-funded study of the role of ancient sport and Classical scholarship in the development of modern sport and the ways in which Greco-Roman antiquity continues to pervade the modern sports landscape, from the Olympic Games, to the physical infrastructures of health and fitness, to the artistic representation of sport in art, literature, and cinema. The goal of this project is to produce a variety of academic and non-academic publications that interrogate, interpret, and demonstrate how ancient and modern sport are intertwined; how antiquity and modernity continue to exist together; how the past – or rather history, one interpretation of the past – inflects the present day and the future, in this case, through the global reach of contemporary sport.
米勒博士的总理研究主席工作将在某种程度上成为布卢姆斯伯里学者的“古代与现代”系列的卷，名为《体育：古代及其遗产》。布卢姆斯伯里（Bloomsbury）系列“古人和现代人”，旨在与该领域最佳作品的深度，能量和兴奋与学生和普通读者交流。它寻求参与，挑衅和刺激，并展示在世界上大部分地区，格拉科 - 罗马古代如何继续与文化，政治和社会中的辩论有关”（根据该系列的描述）。

授予：2016年5月
Dr. Douville is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology studying neuroprogressive disease. During the Chancellor’s Research Chair term the Douville research laboratory will continue to focus on developing an understanding of how human endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), which reside in our DNA and are normally dormant, become re-activated in certain neurological diseases. Dr. Douville’s lab has discovered a novel ERV protein with neurotoxic potential; their work aims to determine the protein’s association with neuronal damage and inflammation in the brain.
Douville博士致力于进行研究，以改善与病毒相关脑疾病（如ALS和精神分裂症）患者的生活质量和护理。通过研究纳入人类DNA的病毒，她发现了我们身体对抗病毒的复杂方式，以及这些过程如何促进神经退行性和神经精神疾病，这是发展新型治疗策略的第一步。
刑事司法凯文·沃尔比（Kevin Walby）博士
Awarded: April 2015
Dr. Walby is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Criminal Justice studying the corporate security within the three levels of government primarily using freedom of information requests and interviews.
As the Chancellor’s Research Chair he will investigate the establishment and operations of public sector corporate security units at three levels of government in Canada and the USA. The transfer of corporate security into government has never been the focus of research in Canada or in the USA. Municipal, provincial and state, and federal governments are now rethinking in-house security, which raises questions about security policy transfer from the private to the public sector. Since 2001, municipal corporate security (MCS) units have emerged as prominent features of local governments in 21 Canadian cities. MCS units are now responsible for a range of practices including asset protection, camera surveillance and policing of ‘nuisance’ conduct (e.g., littering, loitering, alcohol consumption) on public lands, as well as surveillance of municipal employees and citizens. MCS units are nominally public agencies, yet their principle knowledge and technology transfer partner is the international private security industry, specifically American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS) International. Provincial and federal government agencies are now establishing corporate security units too. How public sector corporate security units operate in security networks and how security policies for corporate security units have diffused across government in Canada and the USA remains unknown. This dearth of empirical research restricts academic understandings of: security, government, and crime control practices; the differences between private and public sector corporate security; the differences between public sector corporate security in Canada and the USA; and debates about security networks and consumption. It also restricts policymakers from engaging in informed discussion about public sector corporate security unit merits and accountability.
Dr. Bruno Silvestre, Business and Administration
授予：2014年5月
客户越来越希望为他们的需求而设计的产品和服务，以较低的价格迅速交付，并且也是可持续的（社会，经济和环境的。）然而，该领域几乎没有得到研究的关注。
Dr. Silvestre’s research project aims to answer the following key questions:How can supply chains effectively develop, implement and manage innovations? And how do these innovations impact supply chain sustainability (i.e., economic, environmental and social) performance?
该项目将涉及对有关创新，供应链管理和可持续性的文献进行系统的审查，以及与曼尼托巴省航空航天，农业，建筑和能源部门的人的面对面访谈和问卷。学生将在三年项目中积极参与。
Dr. Melanie Martin, Physics
Awarded: April 2013
梅勒妮·马丁博士正在进行诊断的方法multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease earlier and with more certainty. As a person ages the brain shrinks, but the brain of someone with Alzheimer’s shrinks faster. Martin believes an area of the brain that shrinks rapidly with Alzheimer’s disease is the hippocampus, which is responsible for memory.
马丁目前正在开发创新的磁共振成像（MRI）技术，使研究人员可以实时观察大脑并测量大脑收缩。希望这项技术将使医生早日诊断阿尔茨海默氏病，并具有客观的标记，即大脑收缩，以评估治疗方法。
Dr. Angela Failler, Sociology/Women’s and Gender Studies
Awarded: April 2012
Dr. Failler is leading a new Cultural Studies research team at UWinnipeg consisting of sixteen co-investigators who are faculty members from across the Humanities and Social Sciences. The team has launched a research project engaging with the developments of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR).
Failler和她的团队将进行一个项目，该项目是出于渴望促进CMHR成为文化生产，公共对话和温尼伯教学遭遇的有意义的地点的潜力的愿望而产生的。该项目将作为公共智能交流的典范，并展示加拿大文化研究奖学金在国家和国际舞台上对人权和社会正义的批判性讨论的丰富贡献。
Failler currently holds a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Standard Research Grant (SRG) as Principal Investigator of a program entitled “Building Communities of Memory: Remembrance Practices After the 1985 Air India Bombings”, which theorizes the impact of the bombings on the national imagination in terms of how Canadians conceive of themselves, each other, and what it means to be Canadian - particularly in a post-9/11 culture of “war on terror.” The relevance of this research for the newly launched Cultural Studies project lies in its attention to how public engagement with representations of human loss and suffering can be used to foster a better understanding of the conditions necessary for promoting and protecting human rights and social justice.
Craig Willis博士，生物学
Awarded: July 2011
克雷格·威利斯（Craig Willis）博士是研究野生哺乳动物的生态，行为和生理学的生物学副教授。他和他的学生对哺乳动物的生态学和进化以及应用保护研究进行研究，这些研究对于理解气候变化，工业发展和栖息地损失对野生动植物的影响很重要。最近，威利斯实验室（Willis Lab）是了解一种称为白鼻综合症（WNS）的疾病的主要国际努力的一部分。
WNS于2006年被发现；它已经迅速传播到北美东部，最近进入安大略省和魁北克。该疾病以白色真菌（称为Geomyces Destructans）命名，该真菌在蝙蝠的枪口和翅膀的裸露皮肤上生长。小棕色蝙蝠是最常见的北美物种之一，是最难的打击。当前的估计值可以预测该物种在WN到达地区的20年内的局部灭绝。鉴于蝙蝠是夜间飞行昆虫的主要消费者的作用，这是蝙蝠保护的危机，但对生态系统，林业和农业产生了更大的影响。最近的估计表明，由于农作物损害和农药成本降低，蝙蝠每年价值数十亿美元的北美农业。
Dr. Willis holds multiple research grants from NSERC, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Canada Foundation for Innovation. These funds support field and laboratory studies to better understand precisely how Geomyces destructans is killing bats and to determine the potential for natural selection to help bat populations rebound from WNS in the future.
