GRANT WRITING PEDAGOGY
Since 2022, I have run the Jackman Humanities Institute Summer SSHRC Grant Writing Bootcamp, a 7-week intensive course for faculty members in the humanities and qualitative social science eligible to hold Tri-Agency grants at the University of Toronto. This dedicated curriculum culminates in a curated peer-review session.
