CFUW Linda Souter Humanities Award

The CFUW Linda Souter Humanities Award was inaugurated in 2015 and is named to honour Linda Souter, the only Canadian member of CFUW that has served both as President of CFUW and Graduate Women International (formerly known as International Federation of University Women, IFUW). The award is valued at $6,000 and is awarded annually to a masters or doctoral student studying in the area of the Humanities. Generally, study in the Humanities is theoretical and does not involve empirical methodology. The Humanities could include the following: English Language and Literature, History, Languages Study, Classics, Philosophy, Film Studies, Communication Studies, and Culture Studies. This award recognizes and supports graduate students pursuing advanced research in humanities disciplines at Canadian universities.
