2006-2007 Recipient - Sylvie Perrier
Sylvie Perrier is a full-time professor in the Department of History. Now beginning her eighth year of teaching, Perrier’s interest in historical figures inspires her determination to bring them to life against the background of their times in the imaginations of her 21st-century students. She draws on comparisons with the modern world, careful to make clear that it is not a matter of equating them. Surrounded by myriad projects, Perrier makes good use of a rigorous sense of organization and an acute ethical awareness to stay balanced while dealing with an enormous quantity of work.
