Susan Murphy has been awarded the Prix Voix et Images 2009 for her article «Hypatie ou la fin de l'histoire» published in volume 32.2 in 2007. The prize, awarded every three years since 2003, is given for the best article published by a young scholar in the prestigious Québec literary journal. In making the award, the jury commented: «Remarquable article savant, qui porte sur un roman également savant, qui en démonte les ressorts textuels et qui fait bien ressortir l'intention secrète de Jean Marcel d'affirmer l'absence de vérité objective de l'Histoire. L'auteure maîtrise à la fois le vocabulaire descriptif issu de la sémiotique et la visée théorique qui le sous-tend.» Murphy recently received her PhD from Queen's University and her article on Jacques Ferron appears in Québec Studies 47.
The new ACQS officers for 2009-2011 are David Massell, President; Amy Reid, Vice-President; Susan Pinette, Secretary; and Sam Fisher, Treasurer.
