Congratulations to Drs. Anusha Kassan and Hongxia Shan, 2023-24 SSHRC Partnership Development Grant recipients
Dr. Anusha Kassan, Dr. Hongxia Shan, and their respective team members have secured 2023-24 Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Partner Development Grants.
Dr. Kassan leads the project “Capturing Stories of Child Language Brokering: An Arts-Based Engagement Ethnography with Newcomer Families.” This grant will support deeper insights into Child Language Brokering, where newcomer parents and guardians depend on their children for linguistic translation and interpretation in various contexts, enhancing understanding of immigrant integration into Canadian society.
Similarly, the SSHRC Partnership Development Grant will support Dr. Shan’s project, “Adult Learning and Education in Immigrant Settlement and Integration (ALE-in-ISI) Partnership,” further contributing to research in this area.

The SSHRC is the federal research funding agency that promotes and supports research and training in the humanities and social sciences. SSHRC Partnership Development Grants support the development of partnerships, or the design and testing of new partnership approaches to nurture existing and emerging opportunities for research collaboration, best practices and/or models that can be adapted by others or scaled up to a regional, national or international level, in the social sciences and humanities.
