ELIGIBILITY
The Public Humanities Hub in-kind contributions for SSHRC Connection grants will support applicants to SSHRC Connection Grants who are full-time, tenured or tenure-track UBC-V faculty members appointed to the Faculty of Arts, Education, or Allard School of Law.
The proposed event should:
- Be framed and designed through critical, Public Humanities methods and scholarship;
- Identify a significant knowledge advance that represents a contribution of this scholarly work;
- Acknowledge that public scholarship of necessity attends to human rights and other minoritizing histories and processes that characterize public settings;
- Include a Principal Investigator from the UBC-V Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Education, or Allard School of Law;
- Represent research that is clearly designed to address exclusions to access to knowledge; systemic exclusions that restrict the potential publicness of knowledge, reflect the colonial roots of humanities knowledge, and that impact particular publics, including but not limited to, historically, persistently and systemically marginalized groups.
