Two of this year鈥檚 five 平特五不中 Fellows鈥攑rofessors Hans Beck and Stephen Menn鈥攁re pioneers in the field of Classical Studies. Beck鈥檚 has garnered local and national attention, while Menn鈥檚 contributions are recognized in all areas of ancient philosophy, but especially his transformative solution to the problem of the aim of Aristotelian metaphysics.

Dr. Samy Suissa, whose research in pharmacoepidemiology has shed light on the risks and benefits of medications within thepopulation at large, Susanne Lajoie, an internationally focused researcher and an expert on collaborative learning, and T.V. Paul, whose research has had a significant impact on the development of policy in the areas of peacebuilding, security planning and nuclear arms control, were also named as Fellows.

Fifty-one Canadian universities and the National Research Council nominate members to the College, which is the first national system of multidisciplinary recognition for Canadian intellectual leadership. Each new cohort represents an emerging generation of scholarly, scientific and artistic leadership from coast-to-coast.

Stephen Menn 鈥� Department of Philosophy. Menn is known for his profound understanding of all areas of ancient philosophy, but especially for his transformative solution to the problem of the aim of Aristotelian metaphysics. He has written the first commentary on the overall argument of Aristotle鈥檚 Metaphysics since the Canadian Joseph Owens in 1951. He also works on Arabic and Latin medieval philosophy, and on history and philosophy of mathematics, modern as well as ancient.

Susanne Lajoie 鈥� Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology. Susanne Lajoie鈥檚 groundbreaking research merges cognitive science with leading edge computer technology, and helps stimulate learning in social and life sciences. Her innovative technology environments encourage independent thinking, reflection, and the self-management of learning and emotions. Dr. Lajoie鈥檚 international research on collaborative learning links people from different cultures and activates life-long learning skills.

T.V. Paul 鈥� Department of Political Science. T.V. Paul focuses on puzzles and paradoxes in International Relations. A major advocate of eclecticism and building bridges across theoretical paradigms, his works have had a significant impact on the development of policy in the areas of peacebuilding, security planning and nuclear arms control. The concepts he pioneered, 鈥檃symmetric conflicts鈥�, 鈥檚oft balancing鈥�, 鈥榗omplex deterrence鈥�, 鈥榞eostrategic curse鈥�, and 鈥榮tatus accommodation鈥� have become part of the lexicon of international relations theory and foreign policy

Samy Suissa 鈥� Departments of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and of Medicine. Professor Suissa is an internationally renowned pharmacoepidemiologist who studies the real-world safety of medications. His landmark studies on the effects of asthma medications profoundly altered asthma management and contributed to reducing asthma mortality worldwide. His work on the risks of oral contraceptives and hormone therapy in women, and of medications used by the elderly, led to safer clinical practices. He leads the Canadian Network for Observational Drug Effect Studies (CNODES), linking over 60 Canadian scientists
