Lorne Tepperman Outstanding Contribution to Teaching/ Prix de contribution exceptionnelle Lorne Tepperman à l'enseignement
Dr. Bruce Ravelli, University of Victoria
The winner of the first annual Lorne Tepperman Award in Teaching Excellence is Dr. Bruce Ravelli, Universityof Victoria. Dr. Ravelli has made important contributions to undergraduate teaching in a variety of venues outside his own university, including textbooks, websites, professional meetings, and professional journals. Dr. Ravelli’s website, Making Sociology Matter, shows how sociology can help to promote a better social world. As one judge wrote, “His contributions are a treasure chest of valuable, and often hidden, jewels that enlighten the sociological imagination.” In many ways, Dr. Ravelli has developed and promoted creative new techniques for teaching undergraduates that will appeal to younger generations of learners outside his own classroom.
