Honours she has received include, among others, a Musgrave Gold Medal awarded in 2005 by the Institute of Jamaica for her contributions to literature.〔("Olive Senior Awarded Musgrave Gold Medal" ), Jamaica Information Service, 15 December 2005.〕
==Life and career==
Born in rural Jamaica in Trelawny, Cockpit Country, the seventh of 10 children,〔Hyacinth M. Simpson, ("Olive Senior's Gardening in the Tropics" ), Ryerson University.〕 she attended to Montego Bay High School For Girls.〔Carol Brennan, ("Olive Senior" ), Gale Contemporary Black Biography.〕 At the age of 19 she joined the staff of the ''Jamaica Gleaner'' in Kingston and later with the Jamaica Information Service. Senior later won a scholarship from the Thomson Foundation to study journalism in Cardiff, Wales. As a Commonwealth scholar she attended Carleton University School of Journalism in Ottawa, Canada, where she earned a degree in 1967.〔
While at university she began writing fiction and poetry. On her return to Jamaica, she worked as a freelancer in public relations, publishing and speech writing before joining the Institute of Social and Economic Research at the University of the West Indies, where she edited the journal ''Social and Economic Studies'' (1972–77).〔 In 1982 she joined the Institute of Jamaica as editor of the ''Jamaica Journal''. As the managing director of Institute of Jamaica Publications, Senior oversaw the publication of a number of books on Jamaican history and culture.〔(Olive Senior Extended Bio ), November 2013.〕
After Hurricane Gilbert hit Jamaica in 1988, Senior moved to Europe, where she lived for short periods in Portugal, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, before settling in Toronto, Canada, in the early 1990s. Senior returns to Jamaica and the wider Caribbean frequently, while the region remains a central theme to her work. She writes, lectures and provides workshops around the world.
