The Storytellers are back! Check out this year's Top 25
SSHRC has announced the Top 25 finalists for its 2019 Storytellers contest. The annual competition challenges postsecondary students to show ----- in three minutes or 300 words ----- how social sciences and humanities research impacts Canadians and how it helps us to understand and improve the world around us. Starting on April 29, SSHRC will feature five finalists each week via its website and social media.
SSHRC will be at the 87th congress of the Association francophone pour le savoir (Acfas), held at the Université du Québec en Outaouais from May 27 to 31. SSHRC will host a public event on the first Indigenous Wikimedia in North America.
SSHRC has new online interactive dashboards that provide overviews of SSHRC's investments and competition results. The dashboards will be updated regularly and include filters that allow you to customize your search and view the specific data you need.

Funding tip of the month: Institutional eligibility for Indigenous not-for-profit organizations
Did you know: Indigenous not-for-profit organizations can apply for institutional eligibility for a five-year period to manage multiple Partnership Development, Partnership, and/or Connection grants, instead of re-applying with each grant application.
Solo exhibition on identity and belonging, a powerful gift to visitors
Environmental studies professor and visual artist Andil Gosine assembled a compelling multilayered exhibition that reconsiders his immigration to Canada as a teenager and early encounters with racism. He skillfully interlaces this charged personal narrative with themes of both servitude and hope.
There are more Indigenous youth than ever before attending public schools in Canada. Like all students, it's important for them to see themselves reflected in the curriculum. Often, that's not happening. Jean-Paul Restoule wants to find out why. He will also examine how teachers can help Indigenous students learn about who they are.
Join SSHRC at the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences from June 1 to 7 at The University of British Columbia. SSHRC will be hosting a number of events, including the SSHRC Storytellers showcase and a session on strengthening Indigenous research capacity.
