Roy Adams one of two Canadians honoured with LERA Academic Fellows Award

DeGroote Professor Emeritus Roy Adams has been tapped to receive a Labour and Employment Relations Association (LERA) Academic Fellows Award.

The award recognizes scholars who have made “contributions of unusual distinction” to a given field. He is only the second Canadian to date to be recognized.

Adams is a globally renowned expert in international and comparative industrial relations, as well as international labour and human rights law. He has written extensively on public policy regarding labour issues, industrial relations theory and freedom of association as a human right.

Even after retiring from the Human Resources Management area in 1997, he has continued to make impactful scholarly contributions to the field of industrial relations.

LERA considers researchers working in a wide variety of disciplines, including: industrial relations, labour law, economics, human resources, business, sociology, political science and organizational behaviour.

Adams will be presented with the award at the LERA annual meeting, which will take place in Minneapolis, Minnesota in May.
