    Congratulations to Dr. Claudine Bonner and Dr. Linda Pearse, appointed as Mount Allison’s latest Canada Research Chairs — the country’s highest research honour.

Bonner joins Mount Allison as the Chair in Racial Justice and African Diaspora Migration in Atlantic Canada. Pearse, an associate professor of Music, has been named Chair in Music, Contact, and Conflict.

“Both Bonner and Pearse are working to shed light on historically underrepresented voices in their respective fields and this national recognition exemplifies the profound impact of their research on our understanding of diverse cultural legacies.”
