Hannah Brais, a post-doctoral fellow in the University of Toronto Mississauga’s department of political science, has received the Alice Wilson Award from the Royal Society of Canada (RSC).
The annual award recognizes three women who have demonstrated excellence while entering a career in scholarship or research at the postdoctoral level. It is named for Alice Wilson, a world-renowned paleontologist and geologist who studied at U of T and, in 1938, became the first woman elected to the RSC.
Brais, who is also head of research at the Old Brewery Mission in Montreal, is carrying out postdoctoral research that investigates the gaps in homelessness service delivery and public policy with regards to homelessness prevention.
