Political studies and philosophy professor Douglas Moggach is one of 10 outstanding Canadian researchers awarded $70,000 each in the 40th annual competition for Killam Research Fellowships, administered by the Canada Council for the Arts.
The fellowships enable Canada’s best scientists and scholars to devote two years to full-time research in a particular area. With the support of this award, Moggach will study political theory, aesthetics and modern subjectivity.
“I am deeply honoured to have won a Killam Research Fellowship. It signifies that my colleagues in the academic community feel I have made a contribution to Canadian intellectual life, and that my ongoing research in German philosophy is likely to produce positive results for contemporary thinking about freedom and society,” said Moggach.
Douglas Moggach is a widely known and respected expert on the history of political thought and ethics. His past work, which spans the ages from the ancient Greeks to the present, has centred on the relation between the state and the economy, and on the meaning of citizenship and freedom.
