With support from the Government of Canada, two new Canada Research Chairs (CRCs) have been appointed at York University and two existing have been renewed this year. The new CRCs will undertake new research into "re-righting" and "re-writing" the Indigenous history of North America and investigating Black life in Canada.
This year’s awards were announced June 15 by the Federal Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, François-Philippe Champagne. The awards are among 156 new or renewed CRCs at 36 institutions across Canada.
Alan Corbiere and Christina Sharpe are the two newly appointed CRCs at York, while the CRC appointments of Christopher Kyriakides and Sean Tulin have been renewed as part of the announcement.
