Trent University professor Dr. Barbara Moktthewenkwe Wall 11 (Gzowski College) is a 2026 recipient of the Teaching and Academic Librarianship Award from the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA), one of Ontario’s most prestigious honours for university educators.
“Dr. Wall’s teaching transforms how students understand their relationship with the land and community,” says Dr. Cathy Bruce, president and vice-chancellor of Trent University. “Interdisciplinarity is a cornerstone of a Trent education, and Barbara embodies that work wholly. Students who are fortunate enough to learn from her develop an understanding of care for the environment through their academic and cultural experiences.”
