SSHRC Visits UBC

SSHRC leaders will be visiting UBC to unveil the outcome of their consultations with scholars across Canada on their Imagining Canada’s Future / Six Future Challenges initiative. SSHRC officials will describe how the organization sees itself, in collaboration with the Canadian social sciences and humanities research community, making a difference in addressing emerging challenges for Canada in an evolving global context. The six “future challenge areas” which frame this project are:

  1. What new ways of learning, particularly in higher education, will Canadians need to thrive in an evolving society and labour market?
  2. What effects will the quest for energy and natural resources have on our society and our position on the world stage?
  3. How are the experiences and aspirations of Aboriginal Peoples in Canada essential to building a successful shared future?
  4. What might the implications of global peak population be for Canada?
  5. How can emerging technologies be leveraged to benefit Canadians?
  6. What knowledge will Canada need to thrive in an interconnected, evolving global landscape?
