Congratulations to all FASS recipients of this year's SSHRC Insight Grants

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences is pleased to congratulate all the researchers from across our faculty who received 2020 SSHRC Insight Grants.

Insight Grants support research excellence in the social sciences and humanities. Funding is available to both emerging and established scholars for research initiatives of two to five years.
