Congratulations to Lynette Ong who has been named a finalist for the 2024 SSHRC Impact Awards.

The annual awards recognize achievements by outstanding scholars and students in research, research training, knowledge mobilization and outreach activities funded by SSHRC, and are considered Canada’s highest honours in social sciences and humanities research.

Specifically, Professor Ong (department of political science, Faculty of Arts & Science and Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy) has been nominated for an Insight Award which recognizes outstanding achievement arising from a single or multiple SSHRC-funded initiatives. It is given to an individual or a team of six people maximum (including the nominee) whose initiative(s) have significantly contributed to knowledge and understanding about people, societies and the world. The research outcomes must have led to demonstrable impact within the nominee’s fields of research and/or beyond the social sciences and humanities research community.

The winners in each of the award categories will be announced on Nov. 25, 2024.
