Leah Woolner, Top 25 finalists in SSHRC's 2016 Storytellers challenge.

Congratulations to Leah Woolner, Top 25 finalists in SSHRC's 2016 Storytellers challenge.

The annual competition challenges postsecondary students from across the country to demonstrate—in three minutes or 300 words—how SSHRC-funded research is making a difference in the lives of Canadians. The top entries this year address a range of issues—from sustainable technologies and digital inequality, to food security, transgender issues and special-needs education —and highlight how knowledge about the social sciences and humanities helps Canadians understand and improve the world around us.
