A University of Windsor law professor will be recognized for his work in Canadian and international legal theory when he is named a fellow with a national academy of scholars on Saturday.
William Conklin was elected by his peers to be a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, whose scholars are considered to be at the pinnacle of achievement in their discipline.
Conklin’s work includes original, internationally recognized contributions to legal theory, Canadian constitutional and international law, and legal philosophy and education.
Two other professors will also be named members of the College of new Scholars, Artists and Scientists. That nomination honours emerging leaders in their academic fields.
Biology professor Lisa Porter researches the growth of aggressive brain and breast cancer tumours. She has also been an advocate of connecting research across the Southwestern Ontario and Michigan border.
Music professor Sally Bick looks at the relationship between music and politics. She has researched the political connections of American music in Hollywood films during the 1930s and 1940s.
