History Faculty Participation in Interdisciplinary Research Networks

Professor Keith Carlson is a collaborator on a $1,000,000 Community-University Research Alliance (CURA) grant entitled “Otipimsuak – The Free People: Metis Land and Society in NW Saskatchewan.” Led by Frank Tough (University of Alberta), Lawrence Martz (U of S) and Clem Chartier (Metis National Council), this project examines the historical development of Metis communities in northwestern Saskatchewan. Carlson is the editor of this project’s principal scholarly contribution—an historical atlas.

Professor Geoff Cunfer is a principal investigator for the Saskatchewan component of the ongoing multi-million dollar Great Plains Population and Environment project, based at the University of Michigan and funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. He also holds a Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) grant that supports a new Historical GIS Laboratory on campus.

Professors Geoff Cunfer and Bill Waiser are co-coordinators of the Prairies Environmental History Network of the SSHRC-funded Network in Canadian History and Environment (NiCHE). This funding recently supported a field school as well as a workshop on Climate Change and Drought.

Professor Brett Fairbairn is co-investigator, academic director of the Governance research cluster, and a member of the management board for the regional node of a multimillion dollar SSHRC-funded project on the social economy, “Linking, Learning, Leveraging: Social Enterprises, Knowledgeable Economies, and Sustainable Communities." He is also a co-investigator in several projects led by the Centre for Research on Social Innovations (CRISES) at the Université du Québec à Montréal and the New Rural Economy Program - Canadian Rural Revitalization Foundation. Finally, he is one of numerous co-investigators for a project entitled “Adapting to New Environments: Agriculture and Rural Economies in the 21st Century,” funded by SSHRC’s Knowledge Impact in Society program.

Professor Larry Stewart leads the University of Saskatchewan’s participation in a nationwide research network entitled “Situating Science. Cluster for the Humanist and Social Studies of Science.” The cluster brings together scholars studying science and technology from a philosophical, historical, sociological, and cultural perspective, along with colleagues in adjacent fields, making that work integrated with and accessible to journalists, museum workers, policy makers and the Canadian public.
