Sébastien Grammond, an associate law professor and vice-dean of research, is the winner of the Canadian Association of Law Teachers (C.A.L.T.) Scholarly Paper Award for his article, “Disentangling Race and Indigenous Status: The Role of Ethnicity.” The article will be published in the next issue of the Queen’s Law Journal.
Since he joined the Civil Law Section in 2004, Professor Grammond has enhanced the reputation of the University by responding clearly and thoughtfully to media requests for news commentary on complex issues. In particular, he has made a point of answering queries about freedom of religion, fishing rights and linguistic rights, and has participated in radio call-in shows, written newspaper articles and appeared live on television. He has also forged a presence in the French-speaking media in Quebec.
Professor Grammond received his prize at McGill University on May 28 at the C.A.L.T. annual conference. This year’s conference explored the themes of legal cultures and cultures of legal education in Canada. C.A.L.T., which has met annually since 1951, brings together hundreds of Canadian law professors as well as professors from abroad.
