SUSAN MCCLARY
B.Mus. (Southern Illinois University), M.A., Ph.D. (Harvard University)
As one of the world鈥檚 leading feminist musicologists, Susan McClary focuses in her research on the cultural criticism of music, both the European canon and the contemporary popular genres. She combines the disciplines of music history and music theory, and succeeds in connecting musical details with larger social and cultural ideas. Professor McClary first came to fame with the publication of Feminine Endings: Music, Gender, and Sexuality, which examines cultural constructions of gender and sexuality. Feminine Endings, published in 1981, is considered one of the founding documents of what is known today as 鈥渢he new musicology,鈥� a movement that turns away from the dominant approach to music as a self鈥恈ontained aesthetic product, and concentrates on its relationship to social practices, gender, sexuality, and politics. Professor McClary also has close ties to the Schulich School of Music having taught here for three years beginning in 1991. During those years her presence raised the profile and productivity of the Department of Theory 鈥� as it was known then. For her many contributions to musicology, Susan McClary has been awarded many university-wide teaching awards and been invited as guest lecturer to the most prestigious lecture series in music. In 1995, she was the recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship which celebrates and inspires the creative potential of individuals across numerous fields of human endeavor.

Susan McClary figure parmi les musicologues f茅ministes les plus en vue au monde. Elle se sp茅cialise dans la critique culturelle de la musique, tant du r茅pertoire canonique europ茅en que des diff茅rents genres de la musique populaire contemporaine. Combinant les disciplines de l鈥檋istoire de la musique et de la th茅orie musicale, elle arrive 脿 situer les d茅tails musicaux dans des contextes sociaux et culturels plus larges. La professeure McClary a acquis sa renomm茅e en publiant Feminine Endings: Music, Gender, and Sexuality (traduit en fran莽ais sous le titre Ouverture f茅ministe听: musique, genre, sexualit茅), qui examine les constructions culturelles du genre et de la sexualit茅. L鈥檕uvrage, paru en 1991, est consid茅r茅 comme l鈥檜n des documents fondateurs du mouvement aujourd鈥檋ui appel茅 la 芦听new musicology听禄, qui rejette l鈥檃pproche dominante voulant que la musique soit un objet esth茅tique autonome et qui cherche 脿 comprendre ses liens avec les pratiques sociales, le genre, la sexualit茅 et la politique. La professeure听McClary est aussi associ茅e 茅troitement 脿 l鈥櫭塩ole de musique Schulich, puisqu鈥檈lle y a enseign茅 pendant trois ans 脿 partir de 1991. Durant ces ann茅es, elle a, par sa pr茅sence, accru la visibilit茅 et la productivit茅 du D茅partement de th茅orie, comme on l鈥檃ppelait 脿 l鈥櫭﹑oque. Pour son immense apport 脿 la musicologie et aux 茅tudes culturelles, Susan McClary a re莽u des prix d鈥檈nseignement de nombreuses universit茅s et a 茅t茅 invit茅e 脿 participer aux s茅ries de conf茅rences les plus prestigieuses dans le domaine de la musique.

ZITA COBB
B.Comm. (Carleton University)
Zita Cobb is a pioneer in the field of social entrepreneurship. Growing up on Fogo Island, a remote fishing community off the northeast coast of Newfoundland, Ms. Cobb developed a deep belief in the inherent value of place and a profound respect for the human ways of knowing that emerge from respectful relationships with place. She began working at JDS Fitel, subsequently JDS Uniphase, where she collaborated with others to build the company into an extremely successful high鈥恡ech enterprise. In 2001, Ms. Cobb retired and began her philanthropic work on Fogo Island. She recognized that traditional charity could not create community resiliency and therefore, adopted a social entrepreneurship approach to economic and cultural revitalization. Ms. Cobb鈥檚 goal was to leverage initial investments to create community鈥恛wned economic assets with all surpluses being reinvested back into the community. Along with her brothers Anthony and Alan, she established the Shorefast Foundation, a registered charity of Canada, whose most significant projects to date are the acclaimed Fogo Island Inn, Fogo Island Arts, and Fogo Island Shop. Zita Cobb now dedicates her energies to the wellbeing of Fogo Island and to sharing the Fogo Island model as an example for other small communities.

Zita Cobb est une pionni猫re dans le domaine de l鈥檈ntrepreneuriat social. Ayant grandi sur l鈥櫭甽e Fogo, un village de p锚cheurs isol茅 au large de la c么te nord-est de Terre-Neuve, Mme听Cobb croit fermement 脿 la valeur inh茅rente du lieu et a un profond respect pour les modes d鈥檃cquisition du savoir qui 茅mergent des relations respectueuses de l鈥檋umain avec le lieu. Elle a d鈥檃bord travaill茅 pour la firme JDS Fitel, connue plus tard sous le nom de JDS Uniphase, et a contribu茅 avec ses coll猫gues 脿 en faire une entreprise de haute technologie extr锚mement florissante. En 2001, Mme听Cobb a pris sa retraite et a entrepris son 艙uvre philanthropique sur l鈥櫭甽e Fogo. Consciente que les modes traditionnels de charit茅 ne pourraient pas cr茅er de la r茅silience dans la collectivit茅, elle a adopt茅 l鈥檃pproche de l鈥檈ntrepreneuriat social pour favoriser la revitalisation 茅conomique et culturelle. Son objectif 茅tait de se servir des investissements initiaux comme d鈥檜n levier pour cr茅er des actifs 茅conomiques appartenant 脿 la collectivit茅, o霉 seraient r茅investis tous les surplus. Avec ses fr猫res Anthony et Alan, elle a mis sur pied la Shorefast Foundation, un organisme de bienfaisance enregistr茅 au Canada, dont les projets les plus importants 脿 ce jour sont l鈥檋么tel Fogo Island Inn, le Fogo Island Arts et la Fogo Island Shop, qui ont suscit茅 beaucoup d鈥櫭﹍oges. Zita Cobb consacre maintenant ses 茅nergies 脿 pr茅server le bien-锚tre de son 卯le et 脿 faire conna卯tre le mod猫le de l鈥櫭甽e Fogo pour que d鈥檃utres petites collectivit茅s le prennent en exemple.
