Partnership-based research wins hefty grant

A new research project based at Concordia University will receive $2.9 million in funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

The project, led by Erin Manning, assistant professor in the Department of Studio Arts, unites 11 universities from Montreal to Switzerland to Australia, as well as 17 community partners ranging from visual art collectives to theatre groups.

Titled "Immediations: Art, Media and Event," the project’s central aim is to study research-creation as a form of knowledge production in its own right, explore its grounding and methods, and foster its practice internationally.

This new research project will soon be featured in Concordia NOW news and events.
