UVic Professor James Tully Wins Award for Career Achievement in Research

Congratulations to UVic Professor James Tully on being awarded the prestigious David H. Turpin Gold Medal for Career Achievement in Research as part of the 2014 Craigdarroch Research Awards series.

As a professor of Political Science, Law, Indigenous Governance and Philosophy, Tully has shaped the foundational concepts of several disciplines and has greatly contributed to the diverse range of scholarship that has earned UVic a reputation as one of Canada’s leading research institutions.
