FREDERICTON, NB, June 12, 2025 /CNW/ – Join the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) at the University of New Brunswick, during the Science Writers and Communicators of Canada conference, for the SSHRC Storytellers Challenge showcase.
In this annual competition, now in its 12th year, SSHRC challenges postsecondary students to show Canadians, in up to three minutes or 300 words, how social sciences and humanities research is affecting our lives, our world and our future for the better. Before a panel of judges, 20 finalists will present their inspiring stories and demonstrate how SSHRC-funded research is making a difference in our world.
On Friday, June 13, SSHRC’s Vice-President of Stakeholder Engagement and Advancement of Society, Tara Lapointe, will announce the winners, chosen from a pool of 161 submissions from students across Canada, at the Storytellers showcase.
