A Tribute to Dr. Danny Monieson, 1927-2008
Queen’s School of Business and The Monieson Centre are proud to celebrate a lifetime of research and teaching by Dr. Danny Monieson, Professor Emeritus of Marketing at Queen’s School of Business. Danny was a powerful influence in the lives of many students and alumni of the School over three decades of teaching (1961-1991). He mentored, encouraged and, in many instances, launched the careers of graduates who have gone on to leadership positions in organizations around the world.
Four scholarships have been established at Queen’s School of Business in Danny’s honour. Each year, a number of talented students – each representing one of the Commerce, MBA, MSc and PhD programs – receive these prestigious scholarships to help them pursue their studies. The goal is to support deserving students who will continue to uphold the tradition of academic excellence and extracurricular involvement that Danny valued so highly.
Books are the stock in trade of scholars. Danny Monieson was a scholar whose library reflected his interests and his published research. His most enduring interest was in epistemology. He was passionately interested in the nature of knowledge, its origins, its limits, and its validity. He was fascinated by how we come to know what we know. One of his most important academic publications was titled “What Constitutes Usable Knowledge in Macromarketing?”, and many of his other writings were related in one way or another to usable knowledge. Not surprisingly, then, the subjects most represented in the Monieson Collection are philosophy, especially epistemology, and the mind.
