John Porter Award Tradition of Excellence Book Award

List of past recipients / Liste des récipiendaires

The John Porter Tradition of Excellence Book Award, originally named the The John Porter Memorial Book Prize, was created in 1980 by the Canadian Sociology and Anthropology Association in memory of John Porter for the purpose of recognizing outstanding published scholarly contributions within the "John Porter Tradition" to the advancement of sociological knowledge in Canada. Porter, who died in 1979, was arguably the dominant Canadian sociologist of the post World War Two period.

Le Prix du livre de John Porter

Autrefois appelé Prix du livre à la mémoire de John Porter, le Prix du livre John-Porter, a été créé en 1980 par la Société canadienne de sociologie et d’anthropologie pour honorer la mémoire de John Porter. Il vise à souligner des publications savantes exceptionnelles qui s’inscrivent dans la « tradition de John Porter » en contribuant à l’avancement des connaissances en sociologie au Canada. John Porter, qui est décédé en 1979, a été sans doute le plus grand sociologue canadien de la période suivant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

La Société canadienne de sociologie n'accepte plus de candidatures pour le Prix du livre de John Porter. Veuillez vous référer à nos autres prix du livre.
