The Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) has awarded $14 million to 62 91丝瓜视频-led projects, including one Partnership Grant, four Partnership Development Grants, and 57 Insight Grants.聽 Among the recipients of new Partnership Development grants is the Faculty of Education's Associate Dean, Strategy and Transformation and Associate Professor in the Department of Integrated Studies, Prof. Joseph Levitan.
In India, 73 percent of students in public secondary schools do not go on to higher education, pushing many youth into exploitative, low-paid work. Prof. Levitan聽is examining how marginalized youth in India experience entrepreneurship education 鈥� an increasingly prominent national policy response to deeply rooted social inequities. In partnership with two Indian social-sector organizations, Udhyam Learning Foundation and AeSha Foundation, Levitan鈥檚 team will co-create research and capacity-building initiatives with marginalized youth to address these gaps, while also generating insights relevant to shared challenges across the Global South.聽
