鈥淚t is wonderful to see two Department of Psychiatry faculty members being recognized with Canada鈥檚 highest honour,鈥 said Dr. L. Trevor Young, professor and chair, Department of Psychiatry, on receiving word that Donna Stewart had been named a member of the Order and David Goldbloom had been made an officer.
鈥淒onna Stewart鈥檚 research has transformed care and informed education and policy development. Her work, particularly in the field of women鈥檚 mental health, has benefited women around the world,鈥 Young said. 鈥淒avid Goldbloom鈥檚 national leadership as a mental health clinician, educator and advocate has far-reaching effects. His tremendous involvement in the Mental Health Commission of Canada and a variety of community endeavours has helped transform the world of mental health.鈥
Professor Marion Bogo of the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work was also named an officer for her teaching and scholarship. A leader in curriculum design for social work programs, Bogo has been a pioneer in developing standardized evaluation methods now used worldwide, said Dean Faye Mishna.
鈥淢arion is a true leader who is conducting and producing groundbreaking research and scholarship, which has palpable effects for social work practice,鈥 said Mishna. 鈥淪he continues to share her expertise with schools of social work across Canada and beyond our borders.
鈥淔ew other social work scholars parallel her commitment to conceptualizing social work education for social work practice, and consistently over decades, maintaining this central focus in their research and scholarship, professional achievement and community service. 鈥
Anthony Doob, professor emeritus of criminology, and Roy Shephard, professor emeritus of kinesiology were both named members of the Order. Doob was honoured for his scholarship and his role in shaping Canadian justice policy and Shephard for his pioneering work in the field of exercise science and for promoting the health benefits of physical activity to Canadians.
"All of Tony Doob鈥檚 colleagues at the Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies are delighted 鈥 although not surprised 鈥 that he has been named to the Order of Canada," said colleague Rosemary Gartner who has published extensively with Doob.
"His contributions have helped ensure that our criminal laws and justice system are a closer reflection of the fundamental Canadian values of justice, fairness, and humanity; and his dedication to evidence-based justice policy and practice have helped ensure that criminal justice interventions in people鈥檚 lives have an empirical and a principled basis."
Professor Ira Jacobs, dean of the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education, called Dr. Shephard鈥檚 impact on the exercise sciences "one of the most prodigious in the world" over the last half century.
鈥淗e mentored, inspired and led many who have gone on to national and international research and academic leadership positions, including those who are leading our Faculty today," said Jacobs. "He is an amazingly eclectic, creative and productive trailblazer in our field with an ability second-to-none to identify the potential for knowledge from diverse fields to be integrated to advance exercise sciences, and then to effectively communicate that integration. The Order of Canada is an incredible honour and Dr. Shephard is most deserving of this prestigious award.鈥
World-renowned filmmaker and alumnus David Cronenberg received a promotion within the Order that raised him to companion 鈥 the highest honour attainable.
