SSHRC Connection Grant recipients

By helen mclaughlin

May 30, 2023

UBC Faculty of Education scholars, Dr. Margaret Macintyre Latta and Dr. Bill Cohen, received a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Connection Grant with matching funds from the Faculty of Education Research Infrastructure Support Services (RISS) Grant to help develop a multi-day forum to support educators and researchers in decolonizing and indigenizing curriculum.

The SSHRC Connection Grant supports events and outreach activities geared toward short-term, targeted knowledge mobilization initiatives. These events and activities, which can often serve as a first step toward more comprehensive and longer-term projects, represent opportunities to exchange knowledge and to engage with participants on research issues of value to them.

The Faculty of Education RISS Grant helps Education faculty pursue excellent research by supporting activities and expenses that are typically ineligible for support from research grants or for which stand-alone support is challenging. RISS grants support external grant matching, postdoctoral benefits, funds for pre-conference planning, matching for UBC’s SSHRC Bridge Funding Program and funds to support community engagement for early stage research project planning.

Working the Ideas: The Needed Practice Ground for Curricular Decolonization and Indigenization

SSHRC selected the project, entitled Working the Ideas: The Needed Practice Ground for Curricular Decolonization and Indigenization, for a Connection Grant.

The grant supported a multi-day forum where elders, educators, researchers, community partners and community members engaged in shared sense-making experiences oriented towards decolonizing and indigenizing efforts articulating challenges and opportunities.

Congratulations Dr. Macintyre Latta and Dr. Cohen on receiving a SSHRC Connection Grant and facilitating these vital forums for decolonizing and indigenizing curriculum.
