Awards and  Nominations


CACS – ACÉC Cynthia Chambers Master’s Thesis Award 

In her provocative address of what was absent or underrepresented in the landscape of curriculum studies in Canada, Cynthia Chambers – whose life writing as a form of inquiry and Indigenous Studies research around Indigenous literacies of place has inspired educational thinkers in Canada ­and beyond – challenged scholars “to write a topography for curriculum theory, one that begins at home but journeys elsewhere” (1999, p. 148). In honour of Dr. Chambers, the Canadian Association for Curriculum Studies (CACS) annually awards the Cynthia Chambers Thesis Award for an outstanding Master’s thesis in curriculum studies in Canada. This award is intended for students who defended a thesis at a Canadian university in the calendar year preceding the application deadline of February 7th, 2022. The thesis may be presented in either English or French.

Prize The winner of the CACS Cynthia Chambers Thesis Award will receive a plaque and expenses to participate in the 2022 CACS Celebration, which will take place as part of the CSSE Annual Conference, May 14 - 20, 2022.

  2. An abstract of no more than 1000-1200 words (1000 for English and 1200 for French), which includes the full title and a brief description of the intent, design and results of the inquiry, to make the case that the submission meets the criteria of the award, i.e., that the thesis is pertinent, original and makes a significant contribution to curriculum studies research in Canada
