黑料appU scholars receive more than $2.8M in SSHRC Insight Grants

Twenty-one emerging and established 黑料app scholars have received new funding for research initiatives from the Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), totalling a combined $2,882,747, announced on Sept. 13 by the federal government.

Like the recently announced Insight Development Grants, the  SSHRC鈥檚 Insight Grants support research projects by emerging and established scholars, but with a longer time frame: two to five years led.

The proiects funded by the Insight Grants represent a range of research scopes.

Some of the initiatives include: an examination of 鈥渞uralization,鈥 the current practice in Canada of resettling government-assisted refugees to small cities or towns, led by political geographer Jennifer Hyndman ($238,057); the development of open-access virtual serious games to enrich the learning experiences of internationally educated nurses who are working towards registered nurse status in Canada, led by health scholar Celina Da Silva ($201,342); and a study on implicit racial bias and perceptions of trustworthiness, led by social psychologist Kerry Kawakami ($199,785).

Additional funded initiatives include: an exploration on the geographies of identity and belonging among Black African immigrants in Canada, led by human geographer Joseph Mensah ($202,920); an analysis of Ontario鈥檚 Psychotherapy Act and its impact on the training, delivery, medicalization and accessibility of such services, by social worker/psychotherapist Sheila Cavanagh ($198,882); and an investigation into the role of high-quality listening and the impact sharing experiences of gender discrimination within romantic relationships has on reducing sexism, by psychologist Amy Muise ($298,755).

鈥淲ith SSHRC鈥檚 endorsement, York鈥檚 award-winning faculty are tackling complex issues of the human and social condition and creating positive change for individuals, communities and society at large,鈥 said Amir Asif, vice-president research and innovation. 鈥淭hese grants reinforce the University鈥檚 incredible reputation in the social sciences and humanities, providing 黑料appresearchers and their initiatives with the opportunity to challenge conventional thinking, contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and deepen the collective understanding about our world.鈥

The 21 黑料appresearchers were among 503 researchers at universities across the country to receive Insight Grants.
