The Department of Classics and Archaeology is delighted to announce that MA student Lucie Mackintosh was named a recipient of the Jack M. Miller Excellence in Research Award. The awards are named in honour of a beloved member of the Brock community, Jack Miller, who began his long and illustrious career at Brock as a professor of Chemistry, where he served as chair of the Department and Curector of CCOVI. He went on to serve as Associate Vice-President of Research as well as Dean of Graduate Studies before becoming Special Advisor on Buildings and Space for the university. In this role he helped with the design of the Department’s home in the International Centre or the Glenridge B Building. The awards are granted to a research-based master’s and doctoral student from each faculty who demonstrates outstanding research excellence.

A second-year MA student in the Text and Culture stream, Lucie holds a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Classics with First-Class Standing (Greek and Roman Studies) from Brock University. Lucie’s interests include Ancient Greek (and Latin) language and literature, particularly epic and lyric poetry, philology, and translation theory. Lucie’s award will be formally presented at the 20th annual Mapping New Knowledges (MNK) Research Conference in April 2026.

Congratulations, Lucie, on this well-deserved honour!
