Bourassa spoke about the implications of systemic racism for health problems among Indigenous people and the importance of incorporating respect and a place within research processes for the Indigenous community\u2019s expansive knowledge. She encouraged researchers to shift their focus away from deficit solutions and toward the wide ranging potential that Indigenous knowledge contributes to enriching research.<\/p>\n<p>Following Bourassa's remarks, those present at the event heard about the accomplishments of the research leaders, which were described as rich and varied. Accomplishments ranged from appointments as Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada to York researchers leading a Partnership Grant award by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, to the promise of VISTA and the innovative research of York's Canada Research Chairs. The recipients of large-scale grants were recognized and student researchers who presented at the University\u2019s annual Undergraduate Research Fair were present at the celebration.

Lenton<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Christine Till<\/strong>, Department of Psychology, Faculty of Health, was selected for this award as a reflection of her original research program that studies the neurotoxicity of fluoride exposure. Due to the public health and public policy implications associated with this research, it has received much international, national and local attention. Following a discovery Till made with a graduate student, which found an association between Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and public water fluoridation, she is spearheading a major initiative to examine how early life exposure to fluoride contributes to child health outcomes. In this project, Till is conducting fluoride analysis from urine samples that were collected from almost 2,000 pregnant women across Canada. Till is also participating in a study on fluoride exposure, in Mexico City, led by researchers at the University of Toronto. In addition, she serves as the lead research psychologist for a national project based at Toronto's SickKids Hospital to determine the metrics of long-term prognoses of patients with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis. Till\u2019s deep commitment to mentoring students is exemplified by her leadership of a large research team, supervision of clinical psychology students in the York University Psychology Clinic, and supervision and mentoring of numerous post-doctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students, and research assistants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Marcello Musto<\/strong>, Department of Sociology, Faculty of Liberal Arts &amp; Professional Studies, was selected for this award as a reflection of his scholarly publications. He is acknowledged globally as one of the key authors who has made very significant contributions to the revival of Marx studies. In particular, he has reconstructed the stages of Marx\u2019s critique of capitalism in light of the new historical-critical edition of his writings. Musto has an impressive publication record, authoring four and editing seven books, in addition to many articles and book chapters, since he moved into the tenure stream four years ago. His works have been published worldwide in more than 20 languages. Musto has also transformed the world of contemporary scholarship on Marx and Marxism by organizing several major events (in seven countries) that brought together more than 300 international scholars. In particular, the \u201cMarx\u2019s Capital after 150 Years: Critique and Alternative to Capitalism\u201d conference, held at York, advanced the University\u2019s international reputation for research excellence. Musto has nurtured the careers of many York and international graduate students by improving their research skills, supporting the construction of their professional networks, encouraging submission of peer-reviewed publications, and promoting participation at academic conferences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>President\u2019s Research Impact (PRIA) Award 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_263540\" style=\"width: 353px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-263540\" class=\"size-full wp-image-263540\" src=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/files\/2019\/04\/Julia-Creet.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"343\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2019\/04\/Julia-Creet.jpg 343w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2019\/04\/Julia-Creet-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 343px) 100vw, 343px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-263540\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Julia Creet<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Julia Creet<\/strong>, Department of English, Faculty of Liberal Arts &amp; Professional Studies, was selected for this award as a reflection of her research on digital privacy, data mining, genealogy and memory.

This research tackles the big questions emerging from these technological developments and makes a vital contribution to our understanding of the implications. Creet has produced both traditional research outputs, including a forthcoming monograph, called <em>The Genealogical Sublime<\/em>, and edited essay collections, as well as innovative contributions, such as a workshop on genealogy and genetics, and a documentary film, \u201cDatamining the Deceased: Ancestry and the Business of Family,\u201d licensed by TVO.
