Dr. Danielle Juteau

Biography

Danielle Juteau is a Professor Emerita at the Department of Sociology of the Université de Montréal. Her teaching and research focus on the articulation of social, ethnic, and gender relations and citizenship in relation to pluralism and social equality. Among the first academics to offer courses in feminist studies, she has developed an anti-essentialist perspective on social categories and their identity aims, which she approaches in terms of power inequalities and structural constraints. Recognized internationally, her work has contributed to understanding ethnic relations in the contemporary world system and the development of theoretical tools to comprehend them as historically constructed, concrete, and ideal. She founded the Center for Ethnic Studies at the Université de Montréal in 1991 and was the first holder of the Chair in Ethnic Relations from 1991 to 2003. A member of the Royal Society of Canada since 1996, she received the Marcel-Vincent Prize from ACFAS in 2001. She was a holder of the Canada Research Chair at Université Paris III Sorbonne Nouvelle in 2001 and was named a Laureate of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation in 2003. York University awarded her an Honorary Doctorate in 2007. She has authored numerous works, including 'Social Differentiation: Models and Processes' and 'Ethnicity and Its Borders'.
