This annual prize seeks to recognize post-secondary instructors teaching in any geographical, thematic, or temporal field in historical studies who have a record of excellence in emphasizing student engagement with primary sources in their courses in effective, critical, sustained, and, possibly, innovative ways. Effective teaching about the question of primary sources and how people today should contend with them are the central aspects of this award.

Call for submissions: 

The CHA Teaching and Learning Committee is pleased to call for submissions for its teaching awards that honour excellence in teaching with an emphasis on the use of primary sources. These unique post-secondary teaching awards for history instructors recognize the importance of teaching across departments and universities and respond to CHA members that have supported a greater recognition of teaching and learning among members. 

We are happy to announce that nominations for the CHA Teaching Awards are open until 31 March, 2022. These awards will be announced at the Annual Meeting of the CHA that will be online this year. The committee is also grateful to the CHA Council that has added a monetary prize of $250 for each prize to the winners.

FOUR (4) winners will be chosen: two in the category of “Early or Alternative Career”: one in Canadian history and one in other than Canadian history and two in “Open Career State”: one in Canadian and one in other than Canadian history.

These awards are open to any post-secondary instructor teaching in any geographical, thematic, or temporal field in historical studies who has a record of excellence in emphasizing student engagement with primary sources in their courses. A recognition of teaching extends beyond full-time faculty and is open to all members who teach history. These awards are not just for Canadianists, not just people teaching courses in and for history departments. The deadline for applications is 31 March, 2022 and specific details can be found below and on the CHA Prizes website. 

The CHA Teaching and Learning Committee once again congratulates the 2021 CHA Teaching Awards winners: 

Mary Chaktsiris (Early or Alternative Career, Canadian history)

Mairi Cowan (Open Career State, other than Canadian history)

Also the winner of the 2020-2021 OCUFA Teaching Award! Read more about her teaching at the CHA Teaching & Learning Blog!

Please consider applying or bringing this to the attention of a colleague who you think deserves to be recognized for their teaching excellence. 

More details about the CHA’s Teaching Awards

These annual prizes seek to recognize post-secondary instructors teaching in any geographical, thematic, or temporal field in historical studies who have a record of excellence in emphasizing student engagement with primary sources in their courses in effective, critical, sustained, and, possibly, innovative ways. Effective teaching about the question of primary sources and how people today should contend with them are the central aspects of this award. 

• Our definition of “primary sources” should be understood in the broadest terms and includes visual, aural, verbal, material, digital, and memorized or remembered items.
• These prizes do not preclude the consideration of historiographical teaching (i.e./ approaching secondary and tertiary sources as primary sources).
• These prizes do not preclude, and indeed encourage, pedagogy that fosters critical approaches to historical empiricism and “the archive” as embroiled in past and present political struggles.

Category 1) Early or Alternative Career Award (one in Canadian history and one in other than Canadian history)

• open to any post-secondary part-time or contract instructor, adjunct professor, or early career (0-5 year), untenured full-time instructor/professor who can
•     demonstrate excellence in teaching with primary sources across a minimum of THREE (3) courses (note: this includes the same course being taught three times, even if all three iterations happened in the same semester)
• the courses do NOT have to be taught out of a history department but should feature an ongoing historical component to them
• this category is not open to emeritus faculty
• people can nominate themselves for this award or be nominated by a peer or department/unit chair 
• nomination packages can be up to 15 pages long, exclusive of syllabi and the nomination cover page, and must be submitted as a single pdf file

• testimonies from students who were registered in one or more classes about the teaching effectiveness of the instructor, ideally focused on engagement with primary sources;
• a detailed assignment from a syllabus that showcases primary source engagement and how this was assessed by the instructor;
• a detailed lesson plan with a paragraph or more reflecting on the success of the plan
• formal teaching evaluation reports, or information culled from them (note: this is not mandatory and the adjudicators will be made aware of the numerous critiques that exist about the validity of teaching evaluations)   

Adjudication criteria:

• teaching how to be critical about primary source engagement
• depth of focus on primary sources in specific sessions or with specific assignments
• consistency of focus on primary sources throughout a course and/or throughout 3 courses
• “focus on primary sources” can mean teaching about: “silences” in the archive, the range of sources available, where to find sources and how to work with them, historical or archival theory especially via specific primary source examples, and/or assignments that incorporate the critical use of primary sources
• other criteria taken into consideration may include: ability to incorporate a focus on primary sources across a range of courses (i.e./ from low-enrollment seminars to high-enrollment survey courses); ability to teach about a range of types of sources; innovation (factoring in what this might mean for different types of courses); evidence of student satisfaction and teaching effectiveness; the incorporation of non-written, non-English, non-Western, non-modern sources in effective ways.

The Prize is supported by an anonymous donor. With the consent of the late Dr. Forsey's family, the CCLH chose to name the Prize in his honour because of his pioneering work in the field of Canadian labour history. Dr. Forsey was Research Director of the Canadian Congress of Labour and later the Canadian Labour Congress and also served on the committee which foundedLabour l Le Travail.

The 2022 CBHA/ACHA Award for Best Scholarly Article in Canadian Business History.

The Canadian Business History Association, Canada’s leading organization for the study of business in Canada, invites submissions for its annual $1000 Award for Best Scholarly Article in Canadian Business History.  The prize committee encourages the submission of articles from all methodological perspectives, and from any scholarly journal or journalistic source (provided the article has the necessary diligence and detail). It is particularly interested in innovative studies that have the potential to expand the boundaries of the discipline. Scholars, publishers, journalists, and other interested parties may submit nominations. Eligible articles can have either a Canadian or an international focus, which includes a Canadian perspective. They must be written in English or French and be published during the year prior to the award.

To be eligible of the award, the author of the article and/or nominator must be a current member of the CBHA/ACHA. In the event that the article is co-authored, at least one of the authors must be a current member.  For the 2022 award, articles published in 2021 will be considered. The prize includes a certificate, a $1000 award, and an announcement in the CBHA/ACHA Prospectus.

Annually, the prize may be announced and awarded at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Historical Association (June), though it may be announced prior to that event.

An electronic copy of the article must accompany a nomination and be submitted to the CBHA/ACHA Prize Coordinator, Professor Dimitry Anastakis, University of Toronto, Department of History, dimitry.anastakis@utoronto.ca. The deadline for nominations is February 28, 2022.

About the CBHA/ACHA:  Created in 2015, the CBHA/ACHA brings together academics from a wide range of disciplines, archivists and business leaders in the common pursuit of advancing the study and understanding of business history in Canada.  Learn more about the CBHA/ACHA at our website, http://cbha-acha.ca/.
