Two instructors in the History Department, Dr. Jan Fedorowicz and Dr. Neven Leddy, have just been nominated for the Capital Educators’ Award. This award celebrates and recognizes talented individuals who have made a significant impact on their students’ lives.

Dr. Fedorowicz, who completed a Ph.D. at King’s College, Cambridge, has been associated with Carleton since 1985. He has taught a wide range of courses on unconventional topics such as the history of futurist thought, the impact of communications technology on power relationships, and on terrorism in history. He is the author of two books on Polish history published by Cambridge University Press.

Dr. Leddy, whose Ph.D. is from Oxford,  is an historian of eighteenth century Europe and the Atlantic World, specializing in cultural and intellectual history.  Dr. Leddy’s research centers on the experience of migration and of studying abroad in eighteenth-century Europe. He is a co-editor with Avi Lifschitz of Epicurus in the Enlightenment (Oxford: The Voltaire Foundation, 2009).

Nominations for this award are made by current and past students as well as by colleagues of educators from all levels of education in the Ottawa region. Their nominations are a shining example of the caliber of instruction and the commitment to teaching that Carleton’s faculty members demonstrate.

The six Carleton University finalists for this award will be announced by April 8, 2016 and their names will be posted on the Edugala website.The program is coordinated by the Ottawa Network for Education (ONFE).
