UBC Press author Paulette Regan has been shortlisted for The Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences’ (CFHSS) Canada Prize in Social Sciences for her book Unsettling the Settler Within: Indian Residential Schools, Truth-telling and Reconciliation in Canada.

Awarded annually to one work in French and one in English in each category, the prizes are a benchmark for outstanding scholarly work in the humanities and social sciences.

The four prizes are each valued at $2,500 and will be presented at a special award ceremony on March 30, 2012 at the Musée des beaux-arts in Montreal. The nominees are chosen from works supported by CFHSS’s Awards to Scholarly Publications Program and winners are selected by a jury of scholars from across the country.
