Bereik en inhoud

Dr. Margaret W. (Peggy) Steeves, professor of Biology, sitting at a microscope with slides.

Bio/Historical Note: Born in Amarillo, Texas on 4 December 1929, Margaret Kahala Wolfe moved with her family the following year to New York City. As a teenager Margaret Wolfe attended the Dominican Academy, a Catholic preparatory school for girls in Manhattan. She attended Rutgers University and obtained her BSc. She then entered graduate studies in geology at Radcliffe College, Harvard, and in 1959 obtained her PhD in geology, and specifically paleobotany, where she contributed to pioneering work in North America in the emerging field of fossilized pollens, which for a time became an important area of investigation and tool for petrochemical exploration. At Harvard Margaret met her husband Taylor Steeves, then a junior faculty member in the Department of Biology, and they married in 1956. After working on research projects in Costa Rica in 1957 and a sabbatical at Stanford University in 1958, the Steeves family moved to Saskatoon in 1959 when her husband accepted a professorship in the Department of Biology at the University of Saskatchewan. For the next decade, Margaret continued to pursue research interests and supervise graduate students in the departments of Biology and Geology at the University of Saskatchewan. Margaret co-authored numerous papers on biology and botany with her husband and other researchers under the names ‘M.W. Steeves’, ‘Margaret W. Steeves,’ and '‘Margaret Wolfe Steeves.' Margaret served for many years as the Saskatoon French School's vice president and played essential roles in the hard, day-to-day work of recruiting teachers from France, finding money to support the school, and in the continued development of the curriculum. The school continues to this day under the aegis of the Saskatoon Separate School Board. She returned to work in the Biology Department in the 1980s. She retired from the department in 2001. Later she moved to Toronto to live with family. Margaret Steeves died 30 September 2021 in Toronto.
