Many academics recognize the importance and potential impact of their work but lack the time or resources to convey it to the right audience and funders. The LA&PS Research to Impact Workshop Series is designed to assist researchers in identifying ways to maximize the impact of their work through:
• Facilitating the grant application process;
• Improving grant application success rates;
• Identifying and building capacity around KM tools and;
• Increasing awareness about York and LA&PS available services, resources, and supports.
This workshop series is organized by the LA&PS Research Office. It is designed for LA&PS faculty members, emerging and established scholars and researchers but is open to all York community.

Confronting Online Hate and Harassment of Academic Researchers
Abuse directed at researchers seeking to promote or discuss their work in online forums is widespread and growing. Disproportionately, this abuse targets female, racialized, trans and other marginalized researchers across academic disciplines. The effects of this abuse – which includes criminal conduct – can be profoundly damaging to the research programs, the confidence, and the wellbeing and sense of safety of affected scholars. This LA&PS workshop draws on the insights and efforts of our researchers including our graduate students, who have been thinking how we should respond to this phenomenon.
