Congratulations to Dr. Minelle Mahtani who has received the prestigious Killam Teaching Prize.
The award recognizes excellence in teaching and Dr. Mahtani joins a celebrated circle of committed and talented instructors at UBC.
“I am humbled to be a recipient of the Killam Teaching Prize. Almost exactly twenty years ago to the day, I received word that I had won a Killam postdoctoral fellow at UBC, so it feels particularly meaningful to receive this award in the Killam family name again. It is gratifying to see that my approach to teaching - which focuses on asking anti-colonial questions - has been received so warmly by my students. I want to offer a sincere thank you to my colleagues, TAs and most of all my incredible students for supporting my nomination. I appreciate the chance to learn with and alongside you.”
Dr. Minelle Mahtani
