�첥��Ƶ researchers will explore new questions, methods and ideas in the social sciences and humanities with more than $1.7 million in federal funding to support early-stage projects over the next two years. &�Բ�����;

Projects can include pilot studies, case analyses and collaborative projects that advance knowledge within or across disciplines.  &�Բ�����;

"The Insight Development Grant awards exemplify the outstanding calibre and creativity of �첥��Ƶ’s research community," says Amir Asif, vice-president research and innovation. "This significant federal investment enables our social sciences and humanities scholars to pursue bold questions and innovative explorations that respond to complex societal challenges. Congratulations to all York researchers whose innovative efforts have been awarded with this competitive and impactful funding.”  

Funded projects encompass a broad spectrum of research aimed at addressing critical societal issues including studies on intersectional barriers in abortion care, the lived experiences of refugees and advancements in gender diversity in leadership positions. &�Բ�����;

Additionally, researchers will explore historical narratives through digital visualizations, examine the impacts of AI on corporate ethics and investigate the socio-economic implications of anti-poverty policies in India. &�Բ�����;

Other notable projects focus on the intersection of technology and beauty in historical contexts, the economic dynamics within the bond market and the exploration of education theories within broader cultural frameworks. &�Բ�����;
