This workshop for faculty members will explain how to effectively address the evaluation criteria and craft a strong application to the SSHRC Insight Development Grant or Insight Grant competitions. Although the grants are very similar in many respects, key differences will also be explored, with specific strategies for early career and experienced researchers.

Internal deadlines are coming up for these grants on October 1, 2019 (IG) and January 20th, 2020 (IDG).

The workshop will be facilitated by Dr. PhebeAnn Wolframe-Smith, Research and Knowledge Mobilization Facilitator, with guest Dr. Valerie Hébert, Associate Professor in Interdisciplinary Studies, who has experience serving as an IDG evaluation committee member.

Light refreshments will be served.

The workshop will run concurrently in Thunder Bay and Orillia with physical and virtual presences in each session.

For Thunder Bay, please RSVP to PhebeAnn at sshrc.research@lakeheadu.ca by Monday, September 9th.

For Orillia, please RSVP to Dr. Rebecca Heffernan at orillia.research@lakeheadu.ca by Monday, September 9th.

Public Presentation
"Health, sustainability, and social justice in a rapidly changing and inequitable world"

Date: Tuesday, September 24th, 2019
Time: 1:30 pm
Location: AT3004

We live in an era characterized by unprecedented ecosystem degradation, unbridled resource extraction, and expanding injustices. These interrelated challenges have wide-reaching and cumulative impacts on health and health inequities and demand advances at the interface of social and ecological determinants of health. To achieve health for all, now and in the future, innovative and interdisciplinary research investigating the social-ecological dimensions of health and well-being is imperative. Dr. Galway’s program of research responds to this imperative by investigating and addressing the social and health dimensions of climatic and environmental change, with a focus on promoting health, sustainability, and social justice. Informed by four years of research and relationship-building across Thunder Bay, the Lake Superior watershed, and Canada’s Provincial Norths, Dr. Galway’s future research will focus on three core themes: (1) investigating the impacts of climatic and environmental change on health and well-being; (2) using place-based approaches to respond to, and address, climatic and environmental change in ways that promote sustainability, health, and justice; and (3) identifying methodological and practical innovations to support integration, interdisciplinary research, and intersectoral action. In this one-hour presentation, Dr. Galway will describe the rationale and inspiration behind her work and outline ongoing projects and future priorities within each of these core research themes. She will conclude by describing the impacts of her research and the synergies between her work and Lakehead University’s already demonstrated areas of excellence and future research priorities.

Managing Stress Mindfully is a five-week group run by Carlene Regaudie at Student Health and Wellness. Participants will learn and practice effective mindfulness techniques and strategies which have been shown to enhance the ability to cope with the stressors of university life.

The Office of Sustainability and EcoSuperior are inviting you to help plant four demonstration gardens in the old Centennial Building Courtyard.

In August, 100m2 of concrete was removed from the CB Courtyard. Now we are transforming this space into an outdoor classroom and site for ecological learning. We need your help to make this happen!

This fun day will involve planting a variety of native plants. More information will be provided upon registration.

To register, please email william@ecosuperior.org.

Free refreshments will be provided at noon. This event will take place on Thursday, Sept. 19, at the Centennial Building Courtyard.

We understand if you can only volunteer for part of the shift, please let us know in the email what hours you are able to help out.

Thank you!
