[Liza Bedard]

On Wednesday, September 10, 2025, at 12 noon, we will be hosting a
Welcoming Luncheon for the 2025-26 Institute on Quebec Studies
Distinguished Chair, Dr. Jocelyn Létourneau. This event will take place at
the Center for the Study of Canada & Institute on Québec Studies, 102 Broad
Street, Conference Room (#102).

Dr. Jocelyn Létourneau, who will be with us at SUNY Plattsburgh for the
fall 2025 semester, is professor emeritus at Université Laval, Quebec City.
Over his career he has held fellowships from from the Institute for
Advanced Study, Princeton, N.J., two Fulbright scholarships (UC
Berkeley/Stanford and Yale, respectively) as well as grants from the
Collegium de Lyon and the Zentrum for interdisziplinäre Forschung
(University of Bielefeld, Germany). He was elected to the Royal Society of
Canada in 2004 and awarded the Trudeau Foundation Prize (2006) in
recognition of his outstanding achievement in research and participation in
public life. In 2018, he was honoured with the Prix Actas André-Laurendeau
for the excellence of his scholarly work and his many contributions to the
social sciences and humanities.





The focus of Dr. Létourneau’s research project, while in residence at the
Institute on Québec Studies, is titled “Silent Revolution: Mapping and
Conceptualizing societal changes in Quebec today.”

We would be most delighted if you could join us in welcoming Dr. Jocelyn
Létourneau to our campus.
