The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)’s Imagining Canada’s Future initiative looks at areas that will impact Canadians in the next five, 10 and 20 years. Four regional events will be presented in Ontario as part of the initiative under the umbrella of Research Impact, in addition to the event at Carleton University, events will be held at Wilfrid Laurier University, University of Guelph and York University.

He is also the founding director of the Hyperlab, a digital humanities research centre. Peter Levesque, president and director of the Institute for Knowledge Mobilization, will facilitate the event.
