The honours reflect Dalhousie’s commitment to scholarship that drives discovery, shapes society, and enriches lives. Among the recipients of this year's President’s Research Excellence Award - Research Impact: Shaping the world through discovery, is Dr. Ajay Parasram, an associate professor in the departments of International Development Studies and History (and a Dal alum - BA with Honours in Political Science) .

"Dr. Parasram’s work is helping to reshape public dialogue on race and power through the Frequently Asked White Questions and Safe Space for White Questions initiatives – widely recognized multimedia public education projects that deftly bridge scholarly research and community engagement.
