University of Alberta researchers will seek new insights into culture and language, education, artificial intelligence, climate adaptation and more, thanks to new funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
In all, 53 U of A researchers are receiving nearly $8 million through SSHRC's Partnership Development, Partnership Engage, Insight and Insight Development grant programs.
"These newly funded projects reflect a deep commitment to addressing pressing societal matters and building safer, stronger communities," says Dr. Aminah Robinson Fayek, vice-president of research. "The success of our researchers from 14 faculties in these SSHRC competitions is also a reflection of the high-calibre research in social sciences and humanities happening across our university. We look forward to seeing the impact of this work and remain committed to empowering our researchers as they continue to drive social and cultural change."
