This year, 18 researchers from across the Faculty of Arts and Science were named as recipients of Insight Grant funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).
Insight Grants, which are awarded annually to support research excellence and to build knowledge and understanding about people, societies and the world, are available to both emerging and established scholars for research initiatives of two to five years.
This year, the SSHRC awarded $91 million to more than 1,253 researchers from 60 different Canadian institutions through the program, funding research efforts across a variety of disciplines. In Arts and Science, the 13 projects from winning researchers will explore topics including Indigenous art and motherhood, corporate corruption, environmental violence and ethical responses to climate change.
