Oliver Charbonneau wins prestigious prizeCongratulations to Dr Oliver Charbonneau who was awarded the 2022 Stuart L. Bernath Lecture Prize!

The awarding committee commented as follows:

"After careful consideration of a fiercely competitive field, this year’s Bernath Lecture Prize committee (Brooke L. Blower (chair), Naoko Shibusawa, and Adriane Lentz-Smith) have selected Dr Oli Charbonneau of the University of Glasgow to receive the 2022 Stuart L. Bernath Lecture Prize.  Praised by nominators as an innovative, creative, and highly productive scholar and teacher, Charbonneau (Ph.D. University of Western Ontario, 2016) is the author of numerous essays and articles as well as Civilizational Imperatives: Americans, Moros, and the Colonial World (Cornell University Press, 2020, Philippine edition forthcoming).  By focusing on the mechanics of inter-imperial exchanges and the everyday administration of Mindanao-Sulu—and tacking impressively between local, regional, and global scales - Charbonneau’s research sets new conceptual standards and new analytical trajectories for the study of U.S. Empire.”

The Stuart L. Bernath Lecture Prize recognizes and encourages excellence in teaching and research in the field of foreign relations by younger scholars.
