Government of Canada supports Indigenous research capacity and reconciliation
The Honourable Kirsty Duncan, minister of Science and Sport, announced the 116 award recipients of the first Indigenous Research Capacity and Reconciliation-----  Connection Grants. This $5.6 million investment, announced at the Wanuskewin Heritage Park, Saskatoon will support interdisciplinary Indigenous research that helps advance our understanding of reconciliation with First Nations, Métis and Inuit. This is a key priority for the Canada Research Coordinating Committee and for SSHRC. More than half of the grants were awarded to Indigenous not-for-profit organizations.

Diasporic Africans in Canada
Wendell Adjetey's SSHRC-funded doctoral research at Yale University is the first to present a truly Pan-African North American view of 20th-century black activism, with equal attention paid to both the US and Canada. He hopes that by bringing more awareness to the Canadian experience of the African diaspora, his research will increase understanding of how slavery helped shape race relations in our country and contributed to the marginalization of some of its people ----- and how we can improve those relations. 
 
 
 
 
Looking at ways to make migrants' journeys safer
Danièle Bélanger, Canada Research Chair in Global Migration Processes, along with her team at Université Laval, is studying migration as a complete system that includes countries of origin, transit and destination. She hopes that by understanding the migratory process, governments will be able to create policies that support not only migrants but also the communities they now call home.
