Political science Professor Karen Murray, who also is appointed to the School of Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies, is in the United States for the winter term holding a Killam Visiting Professorship in Canadian Studies at Bridgewater State University (BSU) in Bridgewater, Mass.
Established in 2006, this Killam Professorship is the only endowed chair in Canadian Studies at a public university in the United States. The Killam endowment allows Bridgewater’s 43-year-old Canadian Studies Program to bring prominent scholars and public intellectuals from Canada to its university classrooms and, through public speaking engagements, to enhance understanding of Canada in southeastern Massachusetts. Murray is the fifth holder of the Killam Professorship at BSU. Full Story
