Rhona Richman Kenneally awarded the 2015 Alumni Award for Excellence in Teaching

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Dr Rhona Richman Kenneally is the recipient of the 2015 Alumni Award for Excellence in Teaching, granted by the Concordia University Alumni Association. The prize is awarded annually to a member of Concordia’s teaching staff who has shown superior knowledge, teaching ability and accessibility to students.

Friends and colleagues of the School will recognize Rhona as a co-founder of the Centre, and later School, of Canadian Irish Studies. She is currently a Fellow of the School, and teaches in its programs. She is a Professor and past Chair of Concordia’s Department of Design and Computation Arts, and is editor of the Canadian Journal of Irish Studies. Rhona's current research and recent publications explore mid-20th-century Irish domestic space, and the changes brought on by new technologies and other innovations associated with modernity. Rhona's teaching was also recognized last year, when she received a Distinguished Teaching Award from the Faculty of Fine Arts.

Award recipients will be honoured at a banquet on May 26, 2015. For further information see http://www.concordia.ca/alumni-friends/applause/awards.html
