Join HSS Associate Dean (Research) Sharon Roseman, and HSS Grant Facilitation Officers Heather C. O’Brien and Matthew Milner in an online workshop focused on SSHRC Insight Grants. 

They’ll help attendees think about how to approach the Insight Grants application and how to develop a writing plan for the coming months before the fall deadline. Other topics will include avoiding pitfalls, application components, evaluation criteria, and budget-crafting. The emphasis will be on keeping your own project front and centre in the face of sometimes detailed instructions and requirements. There will be lots of time for questions after the presentation. All are welcome, whether you plan to apply in 2020 or are thinking about applying in the future.

For information on this workshop, please contact a Grants Facilitator.

If you have questions about how to connect via Webex, they can be directed ahead of time to Sarah Penney (sarap@mun.ca, 864-8254) who can conduct a trial session prior to the workshop and assist with Webex connectivity issues during the workshop itself.

Join us for an online Presentation and Q&A with The Conversation Canada‘s CEO and Editor-in-Chief Scott White.

Scott White is CEO and Editor-in-Chief of The Conversation Canada. Previously, he was Editor-in-Chief of The Canadian Press and VP Content Strategy and Business Development at Postmedia. He has an MBA from the Rotman School of Management and is a graduate of the journalism program at Ryerson University.

Description of Session

The Conversation Canada is one of the country’s most successful journalism startups. Its unique model combines academic and journalistic knowledge that produces evidence- and research-based explanatory articles in the area of arts, education, health, science, technology and business, as well as expert-based analyses of current events about society, politics and other issues.

CEO and Editor-in-Chief Scott White will conduct an online workshop where he will explain the model of The Conversation and how academics and researchers can pitch story ideas. One of the most interesting aspects of The Conversation is that authors have their own analytics dashboards, which can be useful when applying for research grants that require a demonstration of knowledge mobilization/transfer.

The event is open to all Memorial faculty members and postdoctoral scholars and might be of interest to doctoral students. This will be an interactive session and attendees are encouraged to bring story ideas they want to discuss with Scott.

Hosted by the Dean’s Office, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.
