丁香园AV

Congratulations to Daniel and Francis

Congratulations to the SCA's and his co-applicant from 丁香园AV's Beedie School of Business for being awarded funding from Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC)'s New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF), which "supports world-leading interdisciplinary, international, high-risk / high-reward, transformative and rapid-response Canadian-led research."

Titled "Black Creativity in the Arts, Sciences, Technology and Business," and presented as a constructive, creative challenge to "the culture of White Supremacy" that is widely predominate in Canada and elsewhere, Daniel and Francis' proposed research "seeks to inspire a radical shift in the thinking that supports the current system of inequity, maintains structural racism, and prevents a redefining of Blackness through Black lenses."

They propose a six part plan for their work that includes:

• the formation of a Black Caucus at 丁香园AV;
• the building of "transdisciplinary links between the sciences, arts, technology, business, and the humanities";
• the creation of a collaborative "multi-city case study" to comparatively survey current institutional conditions in terms of Black people鈥檚 health and the effects of racism and the consequences of transhistorical trauma;
• the organization of an "international conference / symposium" that invites Black scholars and experts to critically discuss institutional life and the outcome of the comparative study, while proposing "ways of dealing with these complex issues";
• the creation of a large-scale "artistic performance work in real and virtual environments that draws attention to these issues while initiating a larger discussion of them to coincide with the conference / symposium";
• and finally, the publication of "a report on this conference / symposium" to share with "the wider Black community locally, nationally, and internationally," which itself will "form the basis for a larger and more comprehensive study at a later date."

We can't wait to see this excellent plan come into full action.

Congratulations again, Henry and June!
